When I was young, 66 WAS old.

I turned 64 in October. In November, the electrician in my heart retired, and I had to have a pacemaker installed to take over. The only symptoms were that my heart suddenly slowed down to 45 bpm when the electrician retired.

I still don't feel old, keep up with my 44 year old nephew in many things.

Yes. My internist keep ordering all these tests and I keep thinking ‘but those are for old people’. I guess I really should check my blood pressure and BPM every day.

58 years old, here. And my rest pulse is 48 beats per minute. Should I be concerned?

Regards,
