It's at any time I go weeks without nothing and then i can have a few weeks when I notice the feeling . I don't really exercise but I do have a busy secudule on a day to day basis. I am great in myself as I was blacking out and my heart was stopping Which was a terrible feeling hence to why I had my pacemaker . My pm is set at 60 but it just gives me a funny feeing when it kicks in which I just put down to when my heart rate starts to fall .

You know you're wired when...

You forecast electrical storms better than the weather network.

So, my advice is to go about your daily routine and forget that you have a pacemaker implanted in your body.
