Suggest Treatment For Arrthymia
I ve talked to my Dr about this, but since my pacemaker implant..MRI approved one, when my husband drives and i m in the passanger seat we go over various pot holes or really rough streets I get a sensation that my heart is increasing, sometimes a sensation in my throat that makes me cough. He is going to do a 24 halter monitor to see if I m having any sort of arrthymia. Sometimes this happens when I drive but not as much as when he drives..this has happened since I can home the day after my inplanatation..any thoughts? I didn t think I would feel anything especially while riding in our van

HI
Well come to HCM
Because of the movement in the vehicle your pacemaker wont be affected because of this, if it was odd feeling then this could be something else and may not be due to arrhythmia, GI disturbances may be the cause, if the halter monitor is showing arrhythmia then the pacemaker need to be check for battery and normal function, hope this information helps, take care.
