Anyone who has a pacemaker and wears a Fitbit and sees no deep sleep?

I also have a 2 lead PM and wear an Inspire 3 Fitbit. My pacemaker was implanted last February. I too have noticed my resting heart rate has dipped below the 60 BPM in the past month. My 30 day average for deep sleep is 16 minutes. I feel fine and am able to carry out daily activities and exercise at least 2 times a week. I rely on my Medtronic pacemaker for information. My pacemaker is programmed to send nightly reports. If there is a problem I will be notified. I assume yours does the same. The Fitbit is not as precise a medical device as the pacemaker. I would contact your cardiologist if you are feeling off. I hope this helps. Feel well!

I had Medtronic pacemaker installed in August and wonder how much I should rely on its reports. I had a very brief fallout in night one or two weeks after surgery but interrogation group told me monitor didn’t catch the incident. When I mentioned this to my cardiologist in a visit and asked why it’s not shown in report, he didn’t answer. My first Medtronic report shows that I have about 9% AFib and cardiologist suggested me to have an ablation. I’m taking Sotalol now and waiting my second pacemaker report due in mid of next month. I will consider ablation if medication doesn’t work for me and I can fully trust numbers in the report. Does anyone have good experience with pacemaker reports? Thank you!
