Pacemaker vibrated twice last nite. felt like a cell phone vibration. I'm 67 this is my 2nd pacemaker. st jude. never happed before. No pain, just the vibration. Any answers?

I have had a pacemaker for more tha 4 years. Before I got he pacemaker i was having regular episodes of atrial fibrillation and PVC's. For at least three years oir more after I got my pacemeker, I had no problems with a-fib but some pvc's.. Recenlty I had a pacemaker ckeck and it showed I was having a lot of atrial fibrillation and pvc's and I could feel them.

I am having a difficult time getting my pacemaker programmed ideally for my lifestyle. I am a young female (late 20's) with an AAiR pacer. I have been into doctor several times for programming it. It goes way to fast for just walking or standing around. 90-100 standing and 120+ walking. When it gets going fast with walking I can feel it pacing me, which is kind of getting annoying. I guess the problem is more of a nuisance than anything.

Not many tests would show that vibrations are..... The first came vibration on my chest, I told my cardio when I had my pacemaker checked. He said it was A-Fib. Later I have it in my legs and hands. They discovered I got diabetes type II. Now I got that "express train" like in my chest first thing in the morning when I open my eyes. They said is normal, nothing wrong. I also got that vibration in my chest after eating. Dr said I didn't have A-Fib anymore.

i have 2 stents and was wondering if exercising on the new vibration platform exercise machine would cause the stents to move and tear an artery????? i am doing cold laser lipo and using the vibration machine for exercise afterward. (have been to 2 sessions so far). i have ordered one of the machines for use at home. should i be concerned at all? they say these machines are great for any number of treatments, not only weight loss.

Could the rate response do this? I have a Medtronic Kappa 701 dual chamber pacemaker. The rate response works with vibration.

This discomfort was programmed out by altering the atrial lead sensitivity. Please could you advise if the VT is triggered by my heart vibrating, the ICD vibrating or the faulty lead? Have others had the same experience as me?

Finally several months later my husband took me to the emergency room and while in the hospital they discovered I had developed PVC's. About 2-7 extra beats a minute. I started feeling this vibration in the left side of my chest...it felt like a fast vibration right on the left side of my breast bone. And it wasn't related to the PVC beats.

Will a two-lead Pacemaker have any effect on my activity levels? How will the Pacemaker affect the AFib? I barely notice the AFib when exercising, but a try on a beta blocker kept my heartrate so low I couldn't ride my bike. Is there any advantage to getting the Pacemaker now vs waiting?

I was awoken from sound sleep with a rapid heart beat (100 BPM) and an odd vibrating sensation in my chest. It felt as though an electrical charge was in my chest, like a motor was running perhaps. It stopped abruptly, like someone had shut a switch off, then started back up again. I had the same thing happen later in the day while I was nodding off to sleep in the afternoon. I also felt some palpitations during the events. Have you ever encountered these types of symptoms before?

The first step is to figure out exactly what the rhythm is -- an SVT ablation is sometimes much less invasive than a atrial fib ablation. It would be very unlikely for a pacemaker to cause rhythms like this. It is probably more related to the reason why he needed a pacemaker in the first place -- disease in the conduction system of the heart. when would ablation be indicated? Indications for ablation are 1. symptoms despite medical therapy, 2.

I am wondering why I feel a vibration in my left leg. When it first started I thought it was my cell phone ringing but my phone was not in my pocket. I feel the vibration all day long and it has a pattern to it. It is a weired feeling and I can not figure out what causes this and why it will not go away. Can you tell me why I feel this?

My heart rate now seems to jump from about 60 to 100 with no additional effort, just vibration, and I feel pretty awful as a result. Has anyone else experienced anything similar? Could someone explain why this is happening? Thank you.

My Dad is in stage 5 vascular dementia. His pacemaker reports that he has 6 months batter life. Because of the prognosis, we have decided to not replace the pacemaker. He is 100% dependent on the pacemaker. What should I expect when the battery runs out? His doctor told me that it won't just quit at that time. They really don't know how long the pacemaker could last. I'm worried about pain. I will be discussing this with his PCP and his cardiologist. I would just like some answers before then.

The last few nights I am getting an odd vibration from my pacemaker area. Also a little tingling in my left arm. Has anyone else experienced this - I swear when the a/c is on I can feel it inside me....

I have used the Nuskin Galvanic Spa facial, and I'm concerned about the warnings in the instruction booklet. It lists "having a pacemaker" as one of the contraindications, but nobody can give an answer as to WHY. So, can anyone tell me exactly what could happen if someone with a pacemaker used the Galvanic Spa Facial? I'm guessing it could interfere with the electrical setting of the pacemaker, or possible cause an electric shock. Thanks for your help!

is it normal for a pacemaker to vibrate about every 3 to 5 minutes? It was installed about 3 months ago. I have no chest pains, tingling or any bad symptoms.

My friend is a 76 year old woman who had a pacemaker put in two years ago. She get a few very strong beats at the same time everyday. When we went for a check, they said it was a check that the pacemaker was doing. Another technician said it was the ventricle. Just today, she had a number of these very strong beats in a row (about 20). They just don't seem to tell her what this is.

I am experiencing palpitatations although I have had an AV Node Ablation and pPacemaker fitted just over 12 months. Does this mean that I will have to have a repeat Ablation or does this happen from time to time?

Afte my pacemaker was replaced, I am unable to drive or even ride in a rough vehicle such as a light truck or van. I can only drive about in well sprung vehicles with a soft ride. After driving a HiLux Toyota utility vehicle the angina pain was so severe I had a heart attack. A neighbor drove me to church in his utility and I spent ages after with angina.

I have pacemaker , defrillator whenever I am around loud noise or loud microphone it bother me so bad it vibrate or make me cry. IF it is to loud it jog my chest.

The unfriendly beats just disappeared after a few weeks but my chest is still vibrating. I don't know was my heart played up? Flecainide bad reaction? Or the pacemaker induced that? I am not on any heart medication now. My cardio said that I don't need to! At first when he handed me the prescription, he told me that I have to take that for the rest of my life. I cried in front of him.... then he angry.... He also scold me....... Did your doctor say VT or RVOT?

Slash has a pacemaker. He talks about it in his book. I know that's not the same device but I think you will be ok.

Been treated for Allergies - asthma, IC, declining kidney and liver function and the pacemaker. No problem with heart - it is caused by body movement or vibration. Apprecitat any other infor or ideas. Any ideas in getting tne medical profession to actually pay attention and do something.

For several years I have been troubled by a feeling of an internal vibration located in the chest, somewhere near the heart. I have undergone extensive heart-related tests, endoscopic examinations, and a variety of other non-invasive tests including sonograms to exclude aortic abnormalities...which ruled out the esophagus, heart, abdominal muscles, and the diaphragm as culprits. This "vibration" started shortly after an ear infection (which was not bacterial)...

also you can now have an MRI with a pacemaker. I had one done in Febuary. The pacemaker representative has to be there to turn off the pacemaker (to keep the settings from being messed up) and a cardiologist usually is there in case he might be needed. Then afterwards, they turn the pacemaker back on and recheck the settings. Very good write up though!

I believe (as does my EP) that at least one of the PV foci is being electically amplified in some way through my nervous system so that I can sense its vibration. However unusual this sounds, there is indeed some precedence for sufferers of PV foci-generated arrhythmias to sense "internal vibrations" that are not skipped beats or ectopy, but rather, stem from concealed PV foci that are not very efficient at disturbing normal heart rhythm.

I had double valve replacement a year and a half ago, a pacemaker put in a few months ago. History of afib.and bilateral hip replacements - arthritis and sleep apnea. I take Flecainide and atenolol. I faithfully use my c-pap. I've had a vibrating sensation occurring in my body three times over the last week or so. Always at night - once while falling asleep and awakened twice. Feels like vibrating from my abdomen up my body. Not in my head.

The heart has its own natural pacemakers. Hormones and chemicals released into the blood stream can effect those pacemakers. Increase stimulation of the vagus nerve can slow your heart. Releases of adrenal hormone can increase your heart rate. Anxiety can cause hormones to be released 3. Can neurological problems cause an 'ischaemic ECG' i.e. lack of oxygen to heart?

I had a heart ablation done at austin heart hospital in austin texas in july of 2010 and have not had afib since... I had dealt with it for about 12 years ...had 12-15 electro cardioversions.......by the way the amiodarone that your one is some bad stuff in my opinion... can cause some not so good side effects...
