Adjusting to a pacemaker can be challenging. Exercise is important, so if your doctor thinks this is a deconditioning problem, ease very slowly into it. You'll probably notice it takes more and more to get your heart rate up, and the problem should resolve.
When I started exercising again after a break, I had similar issues (heart rate went up high very fast) and I got tired quickly. Finally I gave in and paced myself (hard to do) and now I rarely see 180 when exercising. Time and patience! Hang in there.
Mine base rate set to 70 bpm and the maximum rate is 120 bpm. The shopping walk is enough to kill me. The chairs at the shopping mall are all my best fans. My chest like battelfield, gun fires everywhere! Would he expect me to lay down on the bed whole life or what? How do or can I tell him, his setting is very very very wrong? 60 - 180 is the best, I think. I would like to have a trial. The holter monitor said my highest SV Run: 256bpm. Pause: 3.2sec. Does it make sense to you all?
