Pacemkr shocking phrenic nerve?

Just joined the site a hour ago. Got home from successful Tricuspid Valve repair surgery yesterday. I've had an AICD since Feb/12. Last night my pacemaker felt like it was shocking my phrenic nerve which I hear can happen. They changed my settings at the hospital. At one point it hit me 10 shocks in a row. Then 1 or 2 intermittently throughout the night. Anybody else have this happen? Is that what it sounds like? What did you have done?
I'm calling my EP tomorrow to have the device evaluated.
Any guidance would be helpful.
Thanks,

At age 20, I will be getting a pacemaker in few weeks along with an SA node ablation. This opportunity may change a five year prognosis into a normal life span! I look forward to being a little old lady with a wicked cane!
