PHANTOM SHOCK.

Has anyone experienced "phantom shocks"? I have had my ICD for 3 1/2 years now and it fired once going off 6 times consecutively. But recently i have been woken up with a jolt that practically lifts me off my bed. When I have the device interrogated it shows nothing, no treatment no episode nothing!! Am I losing my mind, has anyone else experienced this? I am a fairly healthy 28 yr old male originally diagnosed with Viral cardiomyopathy. I have enough issues worrying about my heart, now I feel I am losing my mind as well....HELP.

I had a couple of the phantom shocks so you are not the only one.

I'm 43 and have had my pacemaker four weeks today. I'm looking forward to living another 50 years and this marvelous device inside me will help me do that.
