Meniere disease and a lazy heartbeat

Thank you very much for your explanations and suggestions.
One EKG showed no problem and the Doppler showed, over 22 hours, a missing beat of one second or two from time to time.
I am going to follow your advice and ask for more thorough investigation before I make a decision.
Ménière is a disease of the inner ear, so it does not affect my heart. But it does tire me a lot ( heavy medication and episodes of rotational vertigo’s that leave you exhausted combined with constant tinnitus) that’s why my GP sent me to a cardiologist to check if there was not an additional problem.

Wearing a holter monitor would help tease out if you falling has anything to do with your heart. You could record the exact time of your falls and then the cardio doc can look at your holter recording and see if there is any relationship. It seems a rather easy way to determine if your heart is involved.
In fact I cannot believe the cardio would install a pacemaker without using a holter to make sure it is heart related. It seems to me that your Ménière's is a possible candidate. But further testing is likely to reveal the source. I would want proof either way.
