I Am On Pacemaker. Feeling Tired On Walking For A While. What Could Be The Reason?

I had a pacemaker inserted on 2nd October 2010 at Ruby General Hospital. I was advised rest for one month with various medication. On completion of this one month I rejoined office on 2nd November. Though I am fairly alright but I feel quite tired and out of breath after walking for a while or walking up my flight of stairs to my flat (18 steps). The medication I am on now is Glycomet 500 SR (after lunch and dinner) and Becosules (after lunch). Why do I feel tired, is there something still wrong? I am 67 years olf female. My name is Mrs Beryl Mendes

Cardiologist,  's  Response
Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

The first cause of your shortness of breath is the recent illness from which you have passed, and this should gradually resolve in 2 to 3 weeks.

However, if this condition still persists, then you should visit the cardiologist and request for device interrogation and change the setting to increase the heart rate as needed.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Sagar Makode
