Dizziness & Pacemaker Syndrome

Hi Folks!
I am from Indonesia and just got my PM on the 21th June. I have dual chamber Medtronis Sensia SEDR01.
Today my first day back to work (I am an Instrument Designer)

But even rarely I am still feeling dizziness and it comes on most when I walk little bit hurry.

Can anyone advise me? I also would like to know more about pacemaker syndrome.

Dizziness and your PM

Hi, Gandara!

I, too, have a dual chamber pm for 9 months now. You do not say much about your condition (why you needed a pm). I had mine implanted via emergency surgery for severe bradycardia, heart block, VVS (syncope), and SSS. If you are worried about your dizziness because you also had blackouts, I was told by my EP that it is still possible to have dizzy spells even after your pm is implanted. I am also still on a beta blocker with my pm to help control the syncope. So far, so good. I only had a couple of times where I even got a dizzy spell like before. The pm is defintiely doing its job. It is also very soon for you after surgery--not even a month yet. Just take an easy and get in touch with your doctor if you have questions. It is his/her job to help you along.

Hopefully, others on this wonderful site can give you some input. Keep us informed!

Happy pacing-

Hi Ella and Cathryn, thank you for the response.

Really, I should get the PM since Nov. 2005 due to severe Bradycardia and SA Block. I was shock and refused (you may know the reason). I tried to looking for another way - medic and non medic - instead of PM but got nothing and my health becomes worse.

At that time I searched and collected the information regarding the PM and fortunately found this Site.
Some people here inspired me to become more Taft and finally I decided to wear it even rather late.

Last week, I seen the Neurolog and he told me that I' ve got Vertigo. It seems an excess from the previous Bradycardia which didn't handled soon.
Now I am under medication and feel much better.

Regards,

Gandara
