I have bradycardia. At 75 I started getting a bit dizzy when working out. My heart rate dropped to 31 and I was admitted to the hospital. I had a pacemaker put in (Medtronic). I will be 79 tomorrow. I strength train 3 X a week and do Zumba 2X a week. I would ask your doctor if that would be advised for you.
The procedure was simple. People have different levels of discomfort in recovery. When I returned to the gym I was afraid to do anything. But taking it slowly, I have returned to my previous activity level.
I too could lose some weight as I have bad knees. It's tough 🙁 Need to add brisk walking to my schedule.
This has been my experience. Hope it helps.
