Energy

Hi! Does anyone know if having a pacemaker can affect energy levels? Also, my PM is set at 60 bpm, but I feel like it's too low for me at rest. I sometimes feel weird when I am at total rest..somehow my heart feels weighted for a second here and there (if that makes any sense) and it sort of makes me put effort into taking a breath when this occurs. Is this common? I know some people can feel the PM kick in, but I just don't know if this is it. I hadn't noticed this with my first PM of 10 years. I am on my second for over 2 years now and I've noticed this issue for quite a while, but not for the whole 2 years.

I'd definitely appreciate any input. Thanks!

About 4 posts before yours, someone wrote about how much energy they had because their PM was keeping their HR too low.
good luck,

Ask if something is different in your settings now from your first pm. Sometimes they make minor changes when you get a new one because it has different capabilities.

It may be the first time we've felt a normal heart rhythm in a long time, so of course it seems too fast and too strong.
