Short of Breath

Got my St. Jude dual lead in June, but even now if I do any work at all, I am totally winded and have to rest. Is this normal? Any suggestions or thoughts? Thanks for input.

I'm the same way. Anything I do I get short of breath. I'm on my second PM. It is a little better with this one than the first one. Just hang in there, because I believe it will get better for you. Talk to your Dr. about it anyway just to make sure he doesn't need to make adjustments. God Bless and Merry Christmas !!!!!

go back

If you are short of breath on exertion, call and ask to be checked. I have no idea why you have the pm so can't offer any suggestions what it could be, but there are a lot of things that can cause it, many of which can be fixed by adjusting the settings.
