Normal?

My answer to your question is yes and no. From all I have ever seen 60 to 100 beats per minute is considered a normal heart rate, however, it takes a doctor to know what is normal for a particular person. With you having a pacemaker with a low setting of 60 I feel safe in saying your pacemaker certainly is not having to do much work. But I suggest you talk to your doctor about whether 100 BPM is, or is not, normal for you.

But I think it will make me feel a lot better. My stamina to walk is already better, even right after surgery. They had me walk all around the floor before they would release me. I did so without being exhausted and winded the way I had been.
