Checkout sensor at supermarket

odd

Do you have a home monitor? If yes, hit the button and send a report. Even if the sesnor affected it, which would be unusual, it should only be for the seconds it takes to walk through. If we get too close to a magnet strong enough to interfere, it pulls the switch closed like when they interrogate. As soon as we get away from it, the switch opens and it's back to full function. I suspect something else is going on. I'd give the doctor a call. 

Thought... is your battery getting low? When they get to the last 3 months, they switch modes and limit function and it feels similar to what you describe. To test it, check your pulse. Then go run up some stairs or jump around, then check it again. If it's exactly 60 both times, you may have gone into replacement mode. It's safe but does not feel good!

Hi Tracy E , yes I thought it strange too but I did not walk through it till groceries packed and sensor as I moved closer went off then moved away stopped and as mentioned it went off 5 x .

I am due this Monday for pacemaker check , so will update to see if readings show anything. 

I have actually buckled near strong magnets that I had bought and not realised how strong the force of them was . It was also only once and it was a box of very strong magnets for crafting with . I get someone else to handle them when the need arises to separate them , singularly okay but a big box of them no.

Will keep you posted what pacemaker check shows.

If we pace a lot, we will for sure feel it if we get near a magnet strong enough to get it to switch to test mode! That's not odd, the odd part is still feeling badly after. The put a magnet on it every time they interrogate, same thing. Glad you have an appointment soon! Hope you get some answers. 

I've set off alarms too

But like Tracey and Sparrow said, once you move away it should return to normal.  

It may be replacement time after 7 years which is why you still are not feeling well.

Keep us posted after your visit.

Interesting thread May be an example of...

...Napoleon's Maxim of war from about 1806.  He said "In battle, the mental is to the physical as three is to one."  It also applies to a lot of things medical, also.  The medical profession likes to call it "The placebo Effect."  OR, in this type issue, "The Reverse Placebo Effect."

I can still recall the lousy feeling I got from the magnet being placed over my brand new PM way back in 2003.  It LINGERED for half an hour or more after the test.  Then there was the first time I got close to sometrhing magnetic - it lasted for better than three hours. 

Over the pasasage of years, the feeling has gone. I no longer even realize the magnet is over my PM at an interrogation, nor do I even realize it may be happening when I am around magnetic devices.

I'm not talking here about the shock/surprise of a sudden event, such as GH & Sparrow discuss, but about the lingering feeling that follows it.

Also, I am NOT one of those "It's all in your head" types.  I just reecognize that the mind is a powerful force in the effects of illness & recovering from same, & it must be reckoned with in the treatment of people.

Another Possibility

It is possible your device is stuck in test mode and did not switch back when you moved away from the sensor.  That is very, very rare but can happen.

The interrogation tomorrow should be able to determine more.

Good luck.

7 years battery geeting to low mayber

Maybe the battery life was just at the edge of going into replacement mode and when you went by magnet it was just enough to put it into replacement mode. If you have had it in for 7 years and this is new could be just needs replacement. Only checkup will tell.
