What Causes Weakness And Body Chill While Having Pacemaker Implant?

I have 3 stints and a pacemaker ( a straight pacer ), as before i got my stints i am very weak and can only walk about 10 to 15 feet without being totally exhausted. and am constantly freezing to the point of uncontrollable shaking. i was told that maybe i have a stint that could be blocked, i am to have my pacer replaced next month as it is 7 yrs old and near the red marker on the pacemaker test.

Post your further queries if any.
