Shower Explosion

I had my CRT-D implanted on Wed.  They said to wait 2 days before taking a shower.  Not only did I wait until Saturday afternoon for the first shower, I also put plastic over the incision area and taped it up well.  Within 2 minutes of taking my shower I had what can only  be described as an explosion occur.  Popping sound, white light, electric charge going through my body.  After calming down I called my doctor who said it happens and since I was not showing any signs still present, to come in Monday for an interrogation of the device.   I cannot find anyting on the internet on this type of issue / complication happening.

My EP gets alerted if I were to be shocked and paced out of arrhythmias.   Ask if that's also the case with you.  

The interrogation report will show anything as well, such as heart rate maximum. 

I had some adjustments early on with my leads, and over the next few weeks you can expect some odd feelings while you heal.  

 

You know you're wired when...

You have a 25 year mortgage on your device.
