Racing heart when I wake up

My St. Jude PM was installed 10 days ago and I am dependent. My heart seems to race or flutter for about 10 seconds after I wake up. It is a little scary.

Is it only when you wake up?

Does it do it when you get up off the couch?

If so have them change the "reaction time" on your accelerometer. That should help

fastrate when waking

Hi
I to had a av ablation done 6 days ago 12th of November. And I too have a fast rate when I awake in the middle of the night, which goes away in 10 or 15 seconds. this has happened 4 times so far.
I also get some af flutter just a small amount, but its early days yet.
I have stopped taking all medications beta blockers and Ameodarone
They set my pace maker to 85bpm when I had the av ablation, before the op it was set to 60bpm and I felt fine!
I do feel ok but the racing heart may be a problem not sure?



You know you're wired when...

You have a maintenance schedule just like your car.
