pulse of 62 and feeling shaky

I’ve had a pacemaker since 2020, the last couple of weeks I’ve had a cold , apart from that I’ve been ok . I’ve noticed that my pulse has dropped to around 60/62 and ive felt fluttery and shaky . My pacemaker is set to bring my heart rate up should it drop below 60. Just wondered if others have had these shaky symptoms if their pulse has dropped down to 62?

My normal resting pulse is 58/60 without drugs , it’s fine . Husbands is 60 with beta blockers fine, the doctors aim for 60. Maybe you feel shaky because you’ ve been ill ? Or maybe doesn’t suit you . A pulse of 60 in itself is not a problem. Ask your doctor if you continue to feel shaky

Is the pulse steady?

Normal pulse rate is generally around 60. As is mine maybe thru the 50's occasionally no problem. What do you mean 'if their pulse has dropped down to 62?
