Faster resting heart rate after new PM and leads

Hi everyone,

I recently had to have one of my leads removed and got a new PM as well and have had a high resting heart rate since (about 90 vs 60 previously). Dr's said this was ok but I am just wondering if anyone has had or heard about this happening and if it could mean anything. I am able to do most things although I havent exercised as much as I did before the lead replacement. When I have taken my bike out, I do notice that I have less endurance than before but that could me just being ot in as good shape as before. Just looking for some thoughts.

Phil

Ask them to check and make sure your new pm has the same settings as the old one.
