Strange pulses?

My device is just for if I enter VF, so I do not receive regular little shocks like pacemaker therapy. Lately I have noticed little blips in my chest that feel just like when my doc checks my device. I read something on here about someone feeling the same after working out. Do you think that is what is happening to me maybe? I work out usually every day for an hour however I JUST felt it and I just woke up! Any input would be so wonderful and I appreciate everyone on here <3

Thanks for the advice:)! Since it was a Saturday,
I got the answering service, but mg favorite cardiologist called me right back and told me to call the office on Monday and let them know I am coming in for a device check. Hopefully all will be well, only one time today did I feel the weird pulsy feeling. Feeling better about everything but this weekend was just a mess of anxiety ridden hell! I'm just so over it! I will post after I go to get the check tomorrow:)

Thanks again!

I get them

I have had my pm since june of 2010 I was 35 at the time and was always very active in sports and still am. I have these "blips" and sometimes can actually see my chest beat with every heart beat. It is painful for the time it last like getting the wind knocked out of me. But when I go to hospital, as directed and have to be there for 6 hours for them to tell me they dont see anything now...I can only explain it like jump starting something. Like when I am able to move it resets itself. I have Lev's lenegre's disease as my heart rate bottoms out and spikes up. pacer is set at 60/140. Has anyone had an ablation?
Thank you

I am 100% pacemaker dependant and have been all my life. I try not to think about how a little metal box keeps me alive - it would drive me crazy. So I lead a very active life.
