will i feel any different in the cooler weather

PM  implanted end of Aug. 2019, am sitting here in front of computer, in my home where the  inside temperature is now 72F.  Wondering if i will feel any different in the cooler weather now that i have the PM. i know some might wonder why i would ask this.  Am in Florida where not used to the cool weather have been  here nearly 50 years now.

I know how we can find the answer to your question.... Let us do a house-exchange , my bags are packed !

I am in the UK and am just thawing-out after a game of tennis. The outside temperature was 37F .

Seriously though, I don't think the temperature makes a scrap of difference if you have a pacemaker.

Temperature effects

I'm really bothered by temperature extremes anymore but I assumed it was age and/or losing a significant amount of weight.  I take a sweater with me whenever I go out (have one in each vehicle, just in case) and always wear one in restaurants, summer or winter.  My sternotomy doesn't like direct cold but my PM doesn't seem to mind.  I'm just glad I moved from Vermont to Georgia.  No snow to shovel, either.  ;-)

These days I sometimes feel like a hothouse plant. I seem to be unable to tolerate any temperature extremes, hot/humid or cold/dry--and in central NC we get plenty of both.

The pulmonologist says, that's the way it is with asthma for some people. His only advice is to stay in the air conditioning.

That's why I love the fall. With temps above 60 and below 80, and a relative humidity around 60, I can take the dog for long walks, and have the energy to tend my garden.

Not too hot and not too cold. Not too wet and not too dry. I have named the problem Goldilocks Syndrome. 

Honestly I thinki the trouble with temp is my physiology. Not the pacemaker.
