Mike,
After I had my ICD I felt what you described quite a bit.
I thought I would have to with these palpitations. After
6 weeks I went to see the cardiologist for a follow-up.
The technition said my battery was set at 5 Volts
and that is too high...it would shorten the battery life. So she changed it to 3 volts. The palpitations are gone.
I hope this helps you. Good luck.
Steve

I HAVE A ST. JUDE ICD
WHEN I GOT MY NEW ONE - CUZ THE OLD ONES BATTERY WAS DEAD, THEY LET ME FEEL WHAT IT WOULD BE LIKE IF MY BATTERY WAS WAY DEAD.
IT WAS A VIBRATION SORTA WHAT U DESCRIBED.
I WOULD CHECK IT OUT WITH DOC.

Thanks for the help

I WENT INTO MARTIN MEMORIAL HOSP FLORIDA 1/12/11 10:30 AM PREOP STUFF AND 1:30 PM THEY PUT ME TO SLEEP.WOKE UP AT 2:30 IN THE OPERATING ROOM THEY WERE FINISHED AND I WENT HOME AT 4:30PM SAME DAY. NO PAIN JUST A LITTLE SORE AND A SMALL BANDAGE.
WHY DID I WORRY SO MUCH ! IN 12 DAYS RESUME ALL ACTIVITIES SWIMMING AND GOLF !
IT DIDNT IMPROVE MY GOLF SCORES :)
