Sharp shock

I had a pacemaker fitted about 6 months ago. Everything seemed fine. Last night I had what seemed to be an electric shock across the top of the pacemaker. Any ideas what this might be, and should I be concerned?

The nerves are knitting back together after surgery.  Not everyone feels it. 

They are very sharp and quick stings.  To me it feels like an ant bite or needle prick.  Really hurts right?

It goes away after a while.

But why do they do so or continue to do so after  six months

It can last (come and go) up to a year....mine did.  We are all different and our body heals in different time frames.  

From what I can tell in your bio, you do not have a defibrillator so no worries there.
