Anyone had this

Had a pacemaker implanted in September, 2016.  Everything was fine until late December. I was riding on top of a Swamp buggy when it hit quite a bump.  I could feel something then like the pacemaker was picking up speed.  It took two weeks to get back to almost normal.  After this I can't sit in a normal chair or recliner without a small bit of pressure in my chest and pressure in my head although not enough to cause a head ache but certainly mild discomfort. Feels a bit like when they speed your pacemaker up durng testing.  I have been to the clinic twice where they took x-rays and adjusted the pacemaker. The condition stayed the same.   This was in January.  I will go back late this month.  I have thought about a possible insulation fracture. Sounds strange but anyone had anything close.  Your responces are appreciated.

It is so hard to describe what we are feeling, and what we worry about without sounding a bit neurotic when we go to the clinic.  You've had it checked out.  And you may, like me, be focusing on it a bit too much (really hard not to).  I'm going back next week, and my daughter is going with me, for the sole purpose of making me ask the things I don't want to "bother" my doctor with when I go for the regular check.  Things like how much I worry about the device and it's proper functioning and the dizziness, and palpitations I regularly feel.

Your heart beats like a teenager in love.

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!
