What Causes Shortness Of Breath After Adjusting Peacemaker?
I am 63 year old female. I had aortic valve replacement 5 years ago for moderate stenosis , three months ago I had a pacemaker put in due to passing out. Recently I had my pm adjusted from 60 to 70 and I feel short of breath. Do you think it is a pacemaker setting or something else.

Hello. Thank you for asking on HCM.
I would recommend that you perform a echocardiogram to assess the shape of the valve prosthesis. The pacemaker adjustment is not a cause for shortness of breath. Also, I would suggest you do a plain chest X-ray.
I hope I was helpful. Feel free to ask me again. Take care
