Pacemaker recipients: Looking for support from others

I have had a pacemaker for a few years because my heart rate was dropping at night. Went down to 20 while I was having a sleep study. It is set to stay above 60 but in the last few weeks I have had it go as low as 57. Most of the time I forget about it.

Time for a device check with your cardiologist? When this happened to my friend 3 years ago the battery was dying and the device outdated. She went into vfib and we had to make an emergency trip to the heat hospital. Not something to ignore.
