PM 2272

I have the PM 2272 implanted in March of 2022. I have consistent vibrations at night when I lie flat or am inclined a little.

It is persistent and will only be under control when I am standing or sitting up.

the tech and Doctor are perplexed. 
many thoughts.

Do you have heartburn at the same time.  if so you might take a gas pill.

ASURITY PM2272

I have been having problems with irractc heartbeats. EP is perplexed. Ended up in hospital with CT of lungs, 24hr Urine, Echocardiogram, blood taken many times etc. I did have a heart cath. Needed 2 stents. Home now, but still having the same problem with my heart rate quickly going to the 120s+ taking a shower, or moving around too much. Believe me it's not cause I'm doing aerobics. 
I found a comment on forum that stated this PM2272 is probably defective, but until someone dies and this is why, it will not be recalled. 
I am glad to have the stents but I know my own body and it's still not right. I had the PM implanted 11/2019 and it never holds an adjustment very long. My problem is moving around at all

sent a message to my EP. Like what's next. 

vibrations and erratic heart rate with Abbott PM 2272

Spud: periodically I have sensed vibrations at night that I could not attribute a cause to.  I guess there are at least two of us.

CatAnn: for a year and a half I experienced erratic heart beat on showering, minor physical activity, stress also heart rate would jump way up.  At times the PM 2272 would put me into AFIB when this happened.  I fired my electro cardioligist that implanted this recalled PM 2272 by Abbott and went to a new guy who, within 15 minutes, had my settings so that the symptoms above did not occur.  I THINK that the PM 2272 has a setting that helps keep it from causing AFIB.  I am convinced that very few electrocardiologists know how to set the PM 2272 for a patient's symptoms and I KNOW that almost none of the Abbott technologists that the EP farms us out to know how to match the PM 2272 to each patient's conditions.  Recommend you let your EP go and find an EP that can set a PM 2272 and don't let them send you to the techs.  This pacemaker is too complex for most of them.  

You know you're wired when...

You have rhythm.

My cardiologist is brilliant and after lots of trial and error got me running. I finished this years London Marathon in 3hrs 38 minutes.
