I have tachy brady syndrome. I just received a one lead pacemaker set to kick in when my heart rate hits 45 bpm. That is for the bardycardia. I'm prescribed metoprolol 25 twice a day to address the tachycardia. Is anyone else on a similar regimen? Especially someone who wants to do moderate exercise. I fear that when I get back to exercising, my heart rate might slip to, say, 60 bpm, low enough to make me want to stop but not low enough (45 bpm) to kick in the pacemaker.

why so low

Thanks, Tracey. I'm going to ask the doctor when I see him next week.

It is just over 10 years since a dual lead device was implanted for complete heart block. It has worked perfectly and I have traveled well near two million miles internationally since then.

60 is a more typical lower limit. It's great to minimize pacing, but if it's so low that you can't do what you want to do, then it's perhaps time to turn it up.
