Hi

Hello, although I'm new to this site, I've had three Pacemakers since 2000. So, I'm not new to having to live with one. But recently, I've been having heart palpitations at random times, and when I lift my left arm. This has never happened before. I do also have anxiety attacks from time to time, but this feels a lot different. My last device was implanted in 2010 ,so it isn't time for the battery to be replaced. Does anyone know if this is a seriously problem, or if it will just go away?

Thanks for the advice. I have been checking my pulse regularly, and Although it is skipping, it's still at a normal pace. I just wish it wasn't so random, so that maybe there was more of an explanation for it. My check up isn't until the end of next month, so I'm hoping maybe it's just the weather change. I will keep marks down on when they happen tho, and hopefully, it will go away soon. I'm sure there's nothing to worry about, it's just highly uncomfortable, and takes away all of my energy.

This is ventricular pacing, but I'm going to assume you know what that feels like since your a seasoned professional. Document when you feel these palpitations and take them in to your next check and see if they can correlate them with any arrhythmia's
