To me setting the PM at the higher voltage would entail battery replacement 40% sooner than the originally projected 10 year battery life. The tech was a bit p.o'ed as I referred to the new setting as generic. I saw no reason to fix what wasn't broken and it certainly was affecting my sleep. The tech attempted to dissuade me but I persisted and insisted. I returned one week later and insisted it be reset to 1.5 volts. The new tech told me the the higher setting was the norm at my new cardio clinic. So, I'm apparently totally dependent on the PM. I was given an atrial oblation at the time of my implant. I'm not overweight nor do I have high clorestoral (sorry about spelling), I'm not diabetic. I shift from my right to left during the night as a matter of personal comfort. I couldn't handle the very noticeable annoying thumping in my chest. The new setting made sleeping on my left side untenable. Had my device checked and the tech reset the voltage from the previously set 1.5 volts to a new setting of 2.5 volts. I've recently transferred my care to my local area, it was with a group 40 miles away where I was previously employed.
