I believe you posted you take BP medication. BP medication will lower your BP. Depending on how much it can cause dizzeness you are experiencing and something you need to talk to your doctors about.
My BP because of my medications can be as low as 90/60 but usually around 100/70. If I stand up too quickly I can get dizzy. What I have learned to do is rise slowly and or move my feet around before I stand.
AFIB can also cause dizzenes.
You mentioned you have a pacemaker. What is your pacing set at. My heart rate would be in the 30s because of medication so my pacemaker is set to 70. To low of a pacing rate can also affect your dizziness. Thinks like this talk to your EP and or pace clinic as they are easily programmed for what is best for you.
Your stress test will tell your cardiolgy team a lot but asked about medications, pace rate, AFIB.

Thanks for responding JC 76 very good information.
I have cut my BP medication in half at the Cardiologist suggestion and blood pressure is good usually between 110-120 and 70-80
My heart rate was also in the 30 pacing is set at 60.
I think you maybe right about AFIB causing dizziness cause I get dizziness when walking sometimes as well.
After I've healed from surgery Cardiologist wants to do a Cardioversion for the AFIB
Thanks again just hope to get it figured out
