What Causes Low Heart Rate And Sleep Apnea?

I had pacemaker surgery 9 months ago because I have a very low heart rate (brady carereia). I thought by now I would have regained my energy level back. My rate is set for 50 bpm at night and 60 bpm during the day. I have had numerous blood tests for low iron levels, thyroid,

etc. but my doctor found nothing out of the ordinary. I am 73 yrs , female and weigh 195#. I also have sleep apena and use a CPAP. The only medication I am taking is 5mg of Crestor a day. I also take 2 metamucial capsules and 2 Vitamin D each day. Other wise in good health. What am I missing?
