How to use less battery ???

Hello fellows
I have my firs PM 3 weeks ago { VERITY (TM) ADx XL DR 5356 Bipolar - St.Jude Medical } DDDR mode ,which it is set at 60,
( i have a heart block 2to1 , my heart used to beat 33 min - 50 max ) at night my heart beats are normally at 60 , while long my daily activity it goes till 90 beats / min.....
I think If I can reach 90 beats/min does it mean 30 beats or more are my hearts beats .. the other are from my PM
My concern is... if I am more active does it mean i have to use less battery.... !!!!!!!!

It is not going to make a noticeable difference in the battery life either way! But being more active and staying in good shape will make your heart stronger which will help you feel better and live longer. Go do what you want and don't stress over battery life. It is what it is and changes are no big deal.

just have to accept it

Well, that makes sense. It's unfair that you have to deal with that on top of everything else. Any setting changes would only make a difference of week or months, not years, so it's still not going to make much difference overall.

Can you find a way to get insurance before the next replacement? My husband and I have both chosen jobs by the health insurance offered in order to make sure I have coverage when it's time for replacements. Yours is new so you've got some breathing room. Good luck!!!
