Yes, it's not pleasant at all and decidedly unsettling. I've experienced that twice. Once when I was around 11 years old and was nervous before a school speech contest, and once in hospital during a cardiac cathaterisation when I was 15. I have Wolff-Parkinson-White Syndrome and experience palpitations every so often. The medication they gave me when I was younger they later found out made it worse! Anyway, now I can manage it and luckily it doesn't hold me back from anything. Good luck to you and all the best

Iwinder,
I am very glad to hear that you are still with us and doing better!

Odd, you didn't bother asking the doctors what you have, or what caused it? They obviously should've told you in the very least. And you didn't bother asking information from the doctors about the cardio-converter (pace-maker)? They don't just install one, and send you home without telling you about it. Nor would they send you home leaving you "guessing" what happened to you. What kind of arrhythmia did the doctors say you had? And what caused it? Did they say your blood tests came back normal? What did your EKG read?edit on 31-3-2014 by Kromlech because: (no reason given)

V tach is ventricular tachycardia. It's when the heart beat starts at bottom part (the ventricles) of your heart, rather than the top, so to speak. It is one of the "deadly" rhythms and often leads to ventricular fibrillation and cardiac arrest. The defib will quickly take care of this for you, should it occur again. It's amazing what modern medicine can do for the heart. Here is some info: V Tach. Continue to rest and take it easy and keep an eye on that insertion site. You might just be the "swelly" type, so it may take a bit for the edema to go away completely. Take care!
As far as your chest hair goes, good luck with that. In most cases it does grow back, but I have seen instances where the spots that had the glue remain bare for quite some time. Who cares though. The main thing is that you're still with us. If anyone wants to know why you have some bare spots you can tell them that the inhabitants of Nibiru have been using you as a practice canvas for crop circles.

What a scary story. So glad you made it through.
Interestingly my brother in law had a heart event... 15 years of chemo (cancer free for the last years) damaged his heart.
He was in the hospital all of March, 4 weeks.
They installed one of these difibulators like you have.
It is now April and he is skiing and golfing. Hasn't felt better in many years.
He is also on Liposomal Vitamin C.
It helped in his healing.
It's helping heal his heart.
It's helping with his sleeping (he previously had a terrible time getting to sleep)
His aches and pains are gone.
