pacemaker making a ring sound

Have not been feeling well. Over the last six months several different crazy symptons.
- 3 or 4 times feels like my heart just pauses and I feel like passing out-earlier on symptoms
-short of breath at times
-sharp pain , it felt like my heart was bending in half and coming out of my chest- very scary
crazy sharp shooting pains lately
last few days not much pain but went for a walk last night with my husband and was tired and sob like I had been running.
- This morning I swore my pacemaker made a ring sound - What Is Going On?
I have been to the doctor , pacemaker check ,echo, blood work- all come back normal- SOMETHING IS NOT RIGHT!

please get a diagnosis

Hi! Don is right we really need more info to be of real help. A symptom record, as Cabg Patch suggested is so important to your medical care in both diagnosing and treating you. You know your own body. If it is telling you it needs help, get help now, even if means a second opinion or ER. Take care and please stay in touch. Hopeful Heart

Karen: You told us the make & model of your PM, but not WHY you have it. That makes a BIG difference in how we approach answers. i I looked at your profile & it did not halp any.

When I joined this club I was scared, full of questions about stents, defibilator/pacer implant, I asked questions got some replies from the older members, not in age time, I followed threw on writing questions I had and some of the replies, and it sure helped me get answers at the Dr office, down the line i had open heart got few by passes, i sought answers and received a lot helpful info from Patch and others, We need these, I shall call them "Old Timers" around, both male and female ones they been threw the hoops and can really help us all, they not doctors but to be honest they take more intrest in issues and discuss them more with you from their experince than than some heart doctors do, and provide us with insight to ask doctors about our issues, I tip my glass to all you "Old Timers", take care

You know who you are :)

You know you're wired when...

You have a high-tech ticker.

It may be the first time we've felt a normal heart rhythm in a long time, so of course it seems too fast and too strong.
