question on settings of PM?

Got my PM 4 2 weeks ago.. All is well so far. They had thought to set it ofr 50 because i had a low heart rate and that was reason for PM.. I asked for 60 becasue I thought it would give me more energy and got 60when they inserted it,. I do all and exercise on a treadmill wallking..

I am wondering if I would have been better off getting it set to 50 as orignally suggested. At 50 it would last longer and maybe my sleeping would be better at 50.

All opinions appreciated
Will discuss it with my doctor but wanted some feedback here.

Mine is set at 80 bpm to 140 bpm. This works fine for me. Probably varies a bit from individual to individual. Not sure of diff. in battery life at each setting. Had mine for about 52 months now.
