Hello and welcome to ask a doctor service. I reviewed your query and here is my answer.
As you said you have a pacemaker and congestive heart failure. So getting shortness of breath of this severity is not a good sign. It means either you ade not taking your medication properly or your medicationa are no more sufficient for your congestive heart failure or there may be lungs problem. You need to go to a hospital and see a cardiologists for this.
