Normal?

My answer to your question is yes and no. From all I have ever seen 60 to 100 beats per minute is considered a normal heart rate, however, it takes a doctor to know what is normal for a particular person. With you having a pacemaker with a low setting of 60 I feel safe in saying your pacemaker certainly is not having to do much work. But I suggest you talk to your doctor about whether 100 BPM is, or is not, normal for you.
