Self Check

I have all the printouts from my interrogations. Would it say on there what time my self check is set for? Been waking up with RHR in the 120's at night, then get all flushed and sweaty because it's a bit scary.

Trying to narrow down what it could be and someone mentioned it could be the self check.

Any thoughts?

It sounds as if it is the diagnostics. It probably depends on your dependancy (mine is complete), but I requested that mine be turned off shortly after implant due to the fact that I am extremely sensitive to any changes and it has been ever since (2001). I was told in my case it only helped to extend the battery life as there was never a time when it would need to adapt.

Hi,
My self check is set for 4a.m. I wake up at 4 a.m. every morning. Next time I go I'm going to shoot for 1a.m. and hope I can get back to sleep then. Getting up at 4a.m. is for the birds!!

Before it was every three hours and I would get muscle spasms in my arm. Bad ones. I have unipolar wires so the pacemaker body is part of the circuit. It would make my arm jerk and I sure didn't want to be holding anything then. I became a clock watcher until I had it reset for 4a.m.

Only reason I know the time is because of having to change it, otherwise I don't think it mentions it anywhere on my report.

Good luck with finding out if this is what wakes you.
Best to you and hope all is well with you.
