Heavy heartbeat?

I have a pacer and I have noticed that I feel a heavy "beat" sometimes. It has been happening more often now and I am just wondering if anyone out there has had the same problem. Kind of like someone has turned on the bass of my PM(LOL).

Ventricular Beat

Uva-

If you are going to feel any pacing, it is going to be the ventricular beat because it is the strong heartbeat of the two. Some people are sensitive to their pacing sometimes and will feel this and others are just hyper-focused on it (especially when they first get a pm). Your pm should be in your chest quietly doing its job and not bothering you or causing any discomfort, so you may want to check with your doctor to see if you need any adjustments. Then again, you might just be one of those people who feel it from time to time. I do.

Your description is perfect--it IS like bass!

Hope this helps,
