Electrical shock

So while I was working the other day painting a house for a friend I went to move the outlet out of the way when I felt an electrical shock in my hand. Could this have harmed my pacemaker?? It definitely scared me but I’m ok now that I know of just want to make sure this didn’t harm my PM

The electrical shock didn't go through your pacemaker so it didn't do any damage.  You're still breathing and your heart rate is OK, correct?  Just try to make it a regular habit NOT to get electrical shocks.  

You know you're wired when...

Your ICD has a better memory than you.

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.
