A member asked:
I have a boston scientific pacemaker and i have shortness of breath. how should it be adjusted to improve my breathing?

This is a decision best made by your cardiologist after an exam and testing. Your issue is likely complex and may benefit from a change in medication more than pushing your heart to do more than it should. Contact your doc and go in so all factors of your health can be understood and a plan of treatment formulated.
