Pacemaker: depends on the pacemaker program but you can have the system checked easily. If you have remote monitoring you may not even need to go to the office. Report to whoever is following your pacer for their advice.

Pacemaker : If it is set 70 it can't be lower but sometimes there's something called sleep rate, we decrease the rate further between certain times of the day at night...
