What Causes Shortness Of Breath Along With Chest Pain?

I have been an active person for 75+ years, but the last year and a half I seem to be very short of breath just walking to the store from the parking lot. My chest starts to hurt and I have to stop and rest. My doc put in a pace maker and stent last year, but didn t change anything except make my blood pressure higher and increase my heart rate from 40 to 60. What next?

Hello dear ,
I evaluated your query thoroughly.
@ After pace maker the things are as it is shows that your heart & lungs are
much weaker now & you have to adjust your activities according to the
pace of your cardio respiratory system .
Suggestions for you :
# remain ambulatory till you don`t have breathlessness
# manage to identify the point beyond which you do not have to more
active physically
# regular light exercises at home with deep breathing & YOGA help
# plenty of liquids with nutritious diet
# keep BP , Blood sugar, weight , Cholesterol levels under control
# avoid alcohol / smoking if doing
Hope this helps you to some extent.
Feel free to ask any further questions.
Wishing you a very healthy life ahead.
