Twitching/muscle spasms
I received my BVICD 3 weeks ago. I have been experiencing twitching/muscle spasms over my whole body since i received the implant, mostly at night. Please let me know if any of you have had this experience and how you resolved it. Thank you

Could also be a diaphragmatic pacing. If a lead dislodged it may be stimulating your phrenic nerve which could also cause the spasms.
In any case, check with your doctor.

Thank you for your comments. I'll check with my cardiologist

Your signature looks like an EKG.

I'm 44, active and have had my device for two years. I love it as I can run again and enjoy working out without feeling like I'm an old man.
Bipolar or unipolar setting

I had twitching of the chest wall- as soon as the pacemaker physiologist threw the switch to bipolar return it was a wonderful relief.
