Guest guest Posted June 21, 2012 Report Share Posted June 21, 2012 I've had my Boston Scientific ICD for about 4 years. I had it go over last January because I had another heart attack. The clot was in my right leg. The doc put in a stint in the artery. I'm ok except for these 'thumbs' I get. It's not a zap. It feels sort of like my restless leg syndrome except in my chest. It wakes me up. It's always at night. In the last 2 weeks something else - it was like an electrical charge went off behind my head. It didn't seem to touch my head but it snapped sort of. A week later it felt like someone slapped my left shoulder as I was turning over. It was another electrical pop. I've told my doctor & all the smiles stopped. He's ordered the Boston Scientific & a different pacemaker guy coming both on the 6th. Has this happened to any of you guys? Am I shorting out or something?
