Pacer self check

I was going to reply to the question of the self check below but it has already gone way down the page, so I thought I would post a new message. I have my self check set at 09:45 on a Tuesday. I like it then as I am aware when it happens and I know that my PM is still working. Every now and then I may be doing something active at this time such as a bodypump class. I still feel it kick in at the same time, but something tells the pacemaker check that this is not a good time. The check stopss and I feel it exactly 1 hour later, and if this is now a good time it will do it's check. Occasionally it may still need another hour. What I am trying to say is I think that if the PM check finds a fault it will keep rechecking until it is okay. This has never been recorded at my pacemaker clinic check.
I also wanted to add that I can't understand why any of you pacerchicks have never talked of Hugh Jackman- only George Clooney and Keith Urban.

Did you ask the doctor to set your self check at that time? I do not know when mine is going to happen but I feel it when it does. I think I would prefer having it set for a specific time. And Hugh Jackman is awesome!!!!

I had my PM implanted in 2007. It started out checking itself at 7:30 am, then it changed to 8:30 am. It is now checking itself at 11am. What's up with that?

You know you're wired when...

You’re officially battery-operated.

I wouldn't be alive if it wasn't for pacemakers. I've had mine for 35+ years. I was fainting all of the time and had flat-lined also. I feel very blessed to live in this time of technology.
