Lightheadedness

Hi,
I had my PM implanted 6/1/07 and have felt like it is helping alot. I have recently felt lightheaded ( almost like my eyes were dialated and everything was bright ) when I go into certain grocery stores. I know it sounds silly, but I'm wondering if those cooling cabinets, etc. are putting out a magnetic field that is affecting my PM. Anyone else ever had anything like this?
Thanks,
Jack

certain stores?

Hi Jack,
I had the same thing in certain stores long before I had my ICD inplant... found out eventually it was something to do with the frequency of the florecent lights they have in these stores and also the bright advertising boards everywhere with the light playing on the various colors it was enough to do you head in.....I try not to look now and also where some sunglasses ..hope this will help Peter
