Fluterring feeling

I had a dual chamber pacemaker and difib implanted yesterday. I'm feeling great on my incision spot but I keep getting this fluttering feeling in my chest. Is that normal? It doesn't hurt but raises my anxiety which probably doesn't help.
I am so terrified of getting an internal shock after having so many external in the hospital.

I don't want to call my doc all the time for nothing but it's making me uncomfortable.

Thank you.

They're used to getting lots of questions! He can decide if he wants to see you or not.

Fear is normal, too. It gets better as we heal and feel well again.

You know you're wired when...

You have a maintenance schedule just like your car.

I wasn't really self-conscious about it. I didn't even know I had one until around six or seven years old. I just thought I had a rock in my side.
