Can anyone relate

Hello, I am 100% pace with a biventrical pacemaker due to complete heart block. This is my first pacemaker and I’m due for replacement this year. I recently saw my EP and had an echo done, EKG and pacemaker interrogated and everything came back normal. I was told I have 5 months of battery left . but I don’t not feel well. I am short of breath, very fatigued, have brain fog and am experiencing dizzy spells. The cardiologist has no answers for me, everyone say I am fine but I am not. This has been going on for 2 weeks and during this time I also saw my PCP who I had draw some blood to check my iron and thyroid as well as my B12 and Vit D and again everything is normal. I just don’t understand what is happening. My gut tells me it’s my pacemaker needing to be replaced but my cardiologist says I’m physically fine because the test are all normal. I have never felt this way before. I was schedule for surgery in 1 months time but Iv recently requested for a sooner surgery date. Has anyone else felt this way before pacemaker replacement?
