There are factors linked to pacing such as meds, cardiac conditions, programming and psychological issues which may need to be considered if you feel very tired despite pacing.

Ideally, you should experience improved energy. The purpose of getting a pacemaker is to make you able to live better, possibly longer, with the heart condition you have. When the heartbeat is more regular and faster, most people feel better, more positive, life is just a little easier.

A feeling of low energy has many, many causes. If it continues it's something to discuss with your doctor. It's possible your pacemaker needs some adjustment to help you feel the best you can.
