The last two times my device was interogated after administering a shock,I was told that their analysis showed that no shock occured. 

Anyone else have this weird occurence happen to them?

Same thing with medtronic....

I have a Medtonic ICD and have a similar thing happening.  Only mine isn't a full fire, it's more of what you would get if you touched a door knob and got a static shock.   Small but definately noticable, yet not a full ICD triggered event.  Nothing is recorded, I was just at the device clinic last week and they ran through all the paces and nothing.  I've ask if we can do an extended holter monitor and try to figure out what's going on, no answer yet but have an appointment with EP in 2 weeks.  My opionion right now, it may be when it up-paces as if my heart rate is to low.  Those events are apparently not logged.  And with my history of PVC's (begemany and trigemany) some extended pauses may make it think it needs to start pacing.  Just more things to explore with no concrete answers yet.    If you find out more please post so we can all learn.  Good luck figuring it out!

You know you're wired when...

Your pacemaker receives radio frequencies.

It may be the first time we've felt a normal heart rhythm in a long time, so of course it seems too fast and too strong.
