I have had a medtronic mri compatiable PM implanted one month ago. I have notice that if I walk just from the kitchen to bedroom my HR jumps to 105 or so. This does not seem normal to me. Is it the rate response setting? Any input?
Thanks

Thanks I actually have a appointment today and just wanted to get some input on what to ask for. This is all so new and confusing to me!!

Everyone's HR should increase when you walk or move, otherwise you would feel uncomfortable and SOB upon any exertion.
Not everyone needs RR turned on....it depends why you needed the PM, like wjs said.
After we get a PM or ICD, we tend to become more aware of our hearts and notice everything, especially in the beginning. You just may not have noticed it before.
When in doubt, ask your Doc, he can make some adjustments to your settings if necessary.

Try to concentrate on how youre able to be active again and feel normal, rather than on having a machine stuck in your body.

could be depending on what it is set at as far as sensitivity. Without knowing any info about your age, reason for PM, or physical condition..hard to know . Actually even if i knew all your info I would still only be a guessing. Check with your Doc or PM rep see what they say, and have them look at setting.
