Thanks for that information. Mine certainly slowed down. My concern is that setting my pacemaker above what my normal heart rate is, is there a chance of an negative impact or is it the opposite. I think what angers me the most is that the technician arbitrarily adjusted it up without an explanation or reason why. Then he refused to change it when I asked.

When I talked about it to my cardiologist, he told me it hadn't been adjusted to 80. I have kept the records of my blood pressure checks and it has definitely changed. I feel like I am suffering from the "old person's syndrome." I am too senile to know what's best for me. I took the cognitive test a year ago or so. I aced it 30/30! My doctor wasn't sure if he could do as well. Any suggestions on how to impress on people I am quite capable of making my own decisions?

Can someone tell me what an "Ablation" is? And what it does?

Thanks.
