I forgot to mention that I have A-Fib and I still feel it, especially after I try to walk. My pulse will be 80 (which is the last adjustment without rate response) but my heart is chaotic. At times I will feel myself getting short of breath without exertion. I never had these problems with the A-Fib before the pacemaker, which was supposed to give me a better quality of life after 3 ablations and 5 cardioversions. My AV node is now ablated so I don't think there's any turning back from a pacemaker.

The other night I was trying to get myself out of bed by pushing myself up on my left arm and was making heavy weather of it as I was gasping for air when I saw a flash of light at the pacemaker site (left-side). It was the only time. And, yes, I was wide-awake. What is that? Thanks.
