pacemaker beats

Last PM check I was told I had approx 12 month battery life left (this was in July '13) For the past 3/4 days my BPM has been at 64 to 66 BPM (normally for the past 10 years it has been 59/60.
Are these numbers telling me something? I don't have another check-up until mid February! I've felt better and also a lot worse (after all how good can one feel at 71?)
Comments please!

That isn't much of a change, and the rate typically drops when the battery goes into conservation mode, not increases. The test is if your rate goes up with activity. When in doubt, call and ask to be checked.

You know you're wired when...

You have a maintenance schedule just like your car.
