Not sure what’s causing this

Anyone else suffer from bouts of feeling like your heart is racing, maybe for about 15 seconds, everyday around the same time? It usually happens for me between 1230-130AM. I only notice it if I’m awake. I’ve had my PM for 8 months and had my settings adjusted recently in hopes that it would help with this, although this has been happening since I got the PM and before setting changes. Just curious to see if I’m the only one dealing with this.

self test

It sounds like they turned on self test. Once a day it goes through ups and downs. They try to program it for when we are asleep. If you are stable, they might be willing to turn it off. 

Tacey nailed it!

Yup, Tracey nailed it.  I had trouble with doctors believing me at first.  Then when I pinned it down to every night at 12:30am they still didn't beleive me, then I called Medtronic, they told me it was a recalibration and that this "feature" could be turned off.  I finally got them to agree to turn it off  I still get random ones and they still don't believe me, but at least it's not every night at 12:30am.

I love this new part of me, and very, very thankful that this technology exists and I know that it's all only going to get better over time.
