Hope I am in the right forum.
My pacemaker was implanted July 2015. During my first checkup I complained of lack of energy. My EP tweaked my pacemaker to a 70 HR and that corrected the problem. Since them I have had the occassions where my HR dropped to 45 - 55 bpm.
I am using an Omron BP meter and my Oximeter to observe my HR. One doctor told me that my home equipment cannot pick up all the beats and that is why I get a low reading.
The past few days I have been getting these low readings again and during those periods I feel tired and fatigues. Since noon today my HR is 70bpm and I am doing fine. I see my EP next month.
Comments appreciated. Thanks.

Life does not stop with a pacemaker, even though it caught me off guard.

We confuse the heck out of most home machines. They can pick up the pacing spikes as beats, the pacers can interfere and make them miss beats, we can have pvc's and pac's or other small beats between the full beats that it misses. Note the day and time so they can see what is going on when they interrogate, but it's are good it's a counting error, not the pacer letting you get too low.
