Tapping sensation after generator change

Hi everyone,

Yesterday I had my generator changed.  Today I am feeling a "tapping sensation" which is insynch with the pulse at my wrist so I know it is the ventricle pacing.  ( for a week prior to the replacement surgery I was feeling the VVI pacing in this same location just more forceful and at then it was asynchronous and I was miserable).  I'm going in this afternoon to the pacer clinic and of course will have them check everything out- just wondering if anyone has any ideas as to why this might be happening.  I'm not uncomfortable ( other than incision) or short of breath and did not feel this sensation until I woke up this morning.  Maybe the voltage is too high? The Medtronic rep said she set the new generator the same as my old one.  Any thoughts?
