Change in lead charge

The charge in one of my leads has changed from 0.8 to 1.4 in 9 months. My doctor could not tell me the reason for it. Has anyone experienced anything like this?

Do mean the voltage?

If so that isn't unusual. Over time the heart wall can become accustomed to the pacing pulses and require a bit more strength. 1.4V is still in a nice range.

I have had my pacer since 2005. At first it ruled my life. It took some time to calm down and make the mental adjustment. I had trouble sleeping and I worried a lot about pulling wires. Now I just live my life as I wish.
