Not sure what I felt

Hi everyone Last night I felt a jump in my upper chest that I thought was a Pac or PVC but it was different. I have my pacemaker on the right. The feeling started on the left and kind of shocked / jumped towards my pacemaker. I have felt a kind of electric feeling before around the pacer. But this was stronger..I have had the Metronics Sure scan dual lead for a year and a half. It is not a defibrillator they told me . It made me jump. Do you think the leads are loose or something.?  I just had my pacer check n March. My pulse is the normal 60 or 61 so it is working. I don't want to call them unless you guys think something is wrong. Seems I call them too much already..I am a worried. Thank you in advance.

No defib

It may have been a muscle twitch.  If you don't have a defib then at least that is not the concern.  

If you feel ok you can wait to see if it happens again.  But if you are very concerned then just call.

Calling dr

Never hesitate to call when you are feeling unusual activity. You will feel better and not worry which in turn will aid in your recovery. Stressing and worrying won't help you feel better and won't allow you to enjoy the moment.

Your doctor should be reassuring you or making any adjustments if necessary to expedite your recovery. If not, then perhaps it's time to change doctors. I had to change after my first pacemaker was implanted and grateful I did. So far with this doctor and pacemaker I received 4 days ago, things are going very well.

Be gentle with yourself. This too shall pass.
