Went to the pacer clinic today and my EP authorized my rate to be upped to 200... yeah!
A few other timing changes were made that I don't understand... my AV node is trying to take over while exercising causing the PM to think I am in some strange rhythm and putting me in 2:1 block. He had the nurse do some timing changes to see if that fixes it...
I will post back with the results!

Went out today and did some intervals that in the past caused me to go into the 2:1 block..... and thankfully it didn't happen. I felt great, but am taking it slow.. will keep ya posted!
Expected results

I would expect you to have the results you are experiencing.The sad thing is that the 2:1 block is a well known effect of a low Upper Tracking Limit in a fit person. They should have changed it long ago.
Congratulations on getting it done.

Agreed

I'm happy to hear that USMC-Pacer.
I agree with Frank, the EPs should have taken this into consideration when they implanted this device.
I don't understand why they kept your Upper Tracking Limit at a low rate from the start, the same thing happened to me.
As a result, when I go for my interrogaton visits, I am very careful who goes near the pacemaker.
Enjoy all your runs USMC - Pacer!!!!!

Not sure..

I am not sure either. I can only think they want us to take it easy at first. Maybe a liability thing??? The nurse only said that they are not use to dealing with patients my age. She wanted to raise my rate only 5 to 180, the EP said "no" lets got to 200.... So far it has fixed my symptoms..
Great workout today...

But, my HRM seems to be stuck after 158 - it will not go higher.. However, I do not have the "hit the wall 2:1 block symptoms" anymore. I may try jogging without the HRM and just go by how a feel for a while and see how it goes. I am not sure why the HRM seems to be malfunctioning, but it is...(only paid $24 for it, so...)
Keep ya posted..!
