4. One Cardio doc says I don't.

The other has me on meds for it.

Thinking about a third opinion now. I hate the meds and have got them lowered, but still get dizzy when I get up. Did have a pacemaker installed because my pulse dropped to 26 bpm.
Pacemaker is set at 60 bpm and would like to Jack it up a little to see if that helps.
Both docs agree that I keep jogging 3 or 4 days a week.

Best of luck
