Strange feeling

When I sit in our living room that has a huge big screen tv, surround sound, stereo equipment, and computer system, I feel like I have more of my fluttery episodes than in any other room in the house. Could any of these things be interfering with my PM?

Yeah, I am in the band, so when the bass drum gets going, it's really annoying because I can feel my pM!

Could be a few things...

I would suggest it's not likely your sound system.
Speakers don't give off huge magnetic fields or RF waves (I use live stage equipment with speakers and amplifiers many times more powerful than a good surround system and don't have any problem.)
If you have a big screen TV (LCD or Plasma), you shouldn't be getting interference from that either (I would assume you're not standing over top of it.)

When my PM had it's motion and rate detector on, I would feel flutters when listening to louder sounds (i.e. a concert, dance party, loud surround system.)
I also noticed when I would sit on my sofa (chesterfield, couch - depending on what country you live in!) and watched TV.
THAT ended up being something to do with my PM settings too, because when they turned off my rate monitor (I don't need that option) it went away.

BUT - like always; note when this happens, time of day, what position you are sitting or reclining in, etc. and take that information to your next PM check-up.

I've seen many posts about people being concerned about exercise after having a device so thought I would let you know that yesterday I raced my first marathon since having my pacemaker fitted in fall 2004.
