Respected sir I am very sorry for that..and I can understand your concern. You have permanent pacemaker implantation that was set at 60 / min.but your heart rate is 110.this shows either your pacemaker is not working or you may have some rhythm disturbances . I would like to advise you that you should go to your cardiologist and discuss about this issue with him.you can't neglect this..as it may cause more problems . He will take an ecg..check whether pace maker is working or not..hope this will help .
