Hello,

Swollen feet may be due to cardiac failure or pulmonary hypertension with right heart failure or infection or anemia or renal failure or hypoproteinemia etc.

Also check the pacemaker battery it may lost over 7-8 years. Please consult your cardiologist get examined for ecg, echocardiogram.

Please get treated accordingly.
