Thanks for your question on Healthcare Magic.
I can understand your concern.
Since you are having pace maker, we should definitely rule out
1. Hypotension due to arrhythmia
2. Coronary artery disease (CAD).
So consult cardiologist and get done blood pressure monitoring, ecg, 2d echo, stress test and Holter monitoring (24 hours continuous recording of Ecg).
You may need repacing of pace maker or other cardiac supportive drugs.
Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks.
