Spasms in area of heart

The other night I was sitting in front od computer doing a crossword when all of a sudden what felt like painless spasms hit me in the chest and lasted around 5 minutes. I put my finger monitor on and may OX was 95 and HR 85 jumped from 85 right away hit 95. Then settled back down to its normal 65 after 5 minutes. I also had same 'sensation' two nights before that one. I have been feeling great so took me by suprise. 

Should I have pushed button on monitor when that happened??

Hello cy30, you want to get the technician to check the time and date on their graphs, as mine showed atrial fibrillation when i had that sensation and they adjusted the pacemaker which helped, at my last checkup which is a month after tweaking pacer, i have had no symptoms..they also suggested take a low dose asprin, as a fib can throw clots and cause stroke...it is a strange feeling...nothing the techy can't adjust hopefully..

As for my pacemaker (almost 7 years old) I like to think of it in the terms of the old Timex commercial - takes a licking and keeps on ticking.
