Sorry, need more info. I'm starting to love the cryptic comments. Day 6 of what? Post PM implant? Were you in a hospital bed, walking, riding a bike, touring a factory, riding a car - what? Anything else besides PM implant? Post trauma, post Propofol - what?

Let's see. You were walking by a railroad tracks and you felt this humming while the locomotive went by. As soon as it went by - no more humming! Guess that would work.

Give us some more info so we can give you some help.

Your journey into PM land is very new, we have pretty much all have felt strange sensations then. I remember I felt vibrations, zings, and zaps, nerves knitting back together I was told. When we first get our little magic friend we notice every little thing, it does get to the point we don't know its there. It just takes time, kind of like having a new baby in the house. Relax take time to heal, be gentle with yourself but keep moving. Best of luck Jean

loss of pulse

I'm 11 days post op from a revision of leads 6 days after the original. I'm normally a very fit 72 year old with no heart disease history. One episode of black out 17 days agod and I have 2 leads in my heart.diagnosed sick sinus syndrome.I've started walking 15-20 minutes each day to in crease my tolerance. this morning I came in from the walk and was taking my pulse when I lost it ie couldn't feel it for a second and felt a flushing feeling in my head. My pulse rate then resumed normal of 72. My anxiety level is off the wall fearing another lead shift.

You know you're wired when...

You have a little piece of high-tech in your chest.
