Any tips or info so much appreciated. Perhaps I am just distrustful but I am not sure what is happening.

I received PM 5 wks ago. Per follow up readings I think I had A fib (?) for 5 days but dr is not worried since it was not severe and nothing in past 3 weeks. Hearing though per techs that I am having A Tach, V Tach, and AV Tach. Not sure what all of that means. The one that seems to be of most concen is the one I do not seem to feel, whatever happened on 8/25 thru 8/30.

the ones I do feel are pretty bad. Not that they occur often, several times a day, but they are very pronounced - like horse hooves thumping in my chest lasting 15 sec to couple of min. Dr made an adjustment on bottom part of PM saying that it had been programmed to come on automatically and he stopped it from doing that. He thought that would stop these sensations. It has not stopped them.

He said if not, to call him but I am questioning myself about this whole thing. The techs and dr do not really talk - more amongst themselves.

Does anyone please have any ideas about this thumping that is so severe that I just have to stop whatever I am doing?

Thanks so much. wish I knew more about all of this. I feel so stupid.
