Beats per minute after pacemaker change

Hi Guys I'm in the UK had my pacemaker changed on Tuesday , I feel fine although I'm a bit worried as my Heart rate with my new PM is a lot higher than it used to be always 90bpm or just under , was always 60-70bpm befour , the tech said she set the pm the same as befour , has anyone else had a higher rate with a PM change ? Only been a few days since the operation so thought it may be the stress etc , of course if this doesn't change I shall get in touch with hospital , just thought I'd ask befour I do this . Thank you

High resting heart rate

Without knowing more, it's impossible to even guess what the problem is or if there is indeed a problem.  Please put information about you (why you have a pacemaker) and your pacemaker (leads, pacing mode, etc.) in your profile.

90bpm seems way to high.  I'd be checking with the  cardiologist, not leaving it up to the tech.

You know you're wired when...

You have a new body part.
