Minor Arrhythmia Question

With all the significant issues of members here I feel silly asking this question but it seems to be a persistent pattern. I've noticed an increase in frequency of arrhythmias so decided to keep track of them. In addition to random times, I have some daily at exactly 2:17pm. Do pms go through a daily test or something? My pm is the Medtronic Surescan. If not internally activated, could there be some external scheduled interference causing this? I've been at home since starting to keep track of times. I don't live near any major power arteries, radio towers, or other obviously potential culprits. Any ideas?

My pm doesn't do this, or I haven't noticed it but I just recently read a post on here where another member said the same exact thing happened to them at the same time every day. Someones suggestion to them was to call their device clinic and ask if they could have the test time changed to when they were sleeping so that they wouldn't notice it. Worth at try!

yes

Yes, some of them are set to do a daily self test. They usually set it for the middle of the night. Call and ask! If that's what it is, it's a simple fix.
