Pacemaker interference HELP

I'm 23 I got my pacemaker implanted in September. The four months that have passed since getting it have basically been a breeze once I adjusted. Earlier today I rode with my husband to town. He was trying to put a radio in our car, and hooked up 2 speakers to the radio to test them out. He put them in the passenger side floor board at my feet while we went to town. On the way home I started feeling really bad, I was really dizzy. Once we got home, I was so weak and dizzy he had to help me into the house to lay down. Realize that speakers have magnets in the back. So I am just guessing after 2 hours of sitting too close to magnets, they were interfering with my device. I've been in bed for a couple hours now and I still feel awful. Has anyone ever dealt with this or know anything about it? How long should the interference make me feel bad? ((I did look up the symptoms for pacemaker interference and I have nearly all the symptoms))

Unless the speaker was very close to your pacemaker it shouldn't have any issues, you know your body, if you feel as badly as your post claims please seek immediate medical attention! 

Not very close

It was in the floor at my feet but I should add he stripped the wire and hooked them up to the speakers himself. When he went in the store I accidently kicked the speaker and apparently caused two wires to touch, and short out against each other. This went on for a good minute or two until he came out because I didn't want to touch them. That is when I started feeling bad. And it continued even after he moved the wires.  

You know you're wired when...

You’re officially battery-operated.

I am just now 40 but have had these blackouts all my life. I am thrilled with the pacer and would do it all over again.
