So boring! I look forward to my pacemaker giving me palpitations to the rhythm of "Never Gonna Give You Up".



I read in Slash’s autobiography that when he got his pacemaker installed they set it at a certain heart rate, but when he played his first live show, he felt a handful of thumps in his chest and thought it was bigger pyro than normal.

Turns out his pacemaker was shocking him because it thought his elevated heart rate was a danger! They fixed the setting.


This is a possibility given that ICDs sound a warning alert before shocking.
