Feeling Pacing

Hello Erevyone ,
I have ST.Jude CRT-D device since June 10, 2013.I am 55 year old male. Since I have the device done in june,All seems good, I started workout in August 1st so far all is good with that.....But my problem is when I start to walk I get this bad feeling.. its like when the ST.Judes Technician check out your leads on your device if you know what I mean, get that raceing funny feeling.I have been to the see my doctor and the Tech about 5 times The try to adust it..But still the same no change at all.Does this mean that I would have to get used to this feeling or it will go away after some time. Please give your input on this matter. Thank You much.

How are you paced?

Sounds like you are symptomatic to pacing...either atrial or ventricular. Do you pace more in the bottom of your heart when your heart goes faster? This could easily be what your feeling.

Some people just don't like their heart going over a certain BPM. Most people get used to it over time. Is it a "flutter" type of feeling?

You know you're wired when...

You have a $50,000 chest.
