Before recommending a pacemaker, your doctor will consider any arrhythmia symptoms you have, such as dizziness, unexplained fainting, or shortness of breath. He or she also will consider whether you have a history of heart disease, what medicines you're currently taking, and the results of heart tests.
Your doctor also may recommend a pacemaker if: 1  Aging or heart disease damages your sinus node's ability to set the correct pace for your heartbeat. 2  Such damage can cause slower than normal heartbeats or long pauses between heartbeats. 3  The damage also can cause your heart to switch between slow and fast rhythms.
