What Can Cause Fainting While On A Pacemaker?
My husband has a pacemaker, just passed out for about 30 second on the bed. Doesn't remember falling on the bed. We were talking then he fell on the bed. Just remembers me calling his name. Should we see his Dr. or go to emergency? He is fine, has no dizziness or lightheadedness. Says he feels great.

Hello,
It is important to get his device assessed as he has passed out for a long duration of 30 seconds. You should visit the emergency department to get an ECG done and if there was any need for emergent evaluation of his device they will ask for cardiology consultation.
Hope I have answered your query.
Let me know if I can assist you further.
