A patient reported they were on vacation and all of a sudden they got a sharp shooting pain, randomly, and then they started feeling a piece where the shocking was.Every couple of seconds they would feel it.Like every 4-6 feet they would feel it and it was driving them insane.It hurt and it was out of the blue.The shocking was still occurring at the time of the report.The patient mentioned that the shocking had occurred once before in (b)(6) 2017 and the healthcare provider (hcp) had to turn one of the leads off because of it.Now all of a sudden the shocking came back.The patient mentioned that they bumped their stimulator with a suitcase on (b)(6) 2017 but the shocking didn't happen right away, but shortly after on (b)(6) 2017.The patient also noted that this was their second implant and since the battery replacement, they have had trouble.When they first got the battery replaced, they were puking every single day, which was totally the pacemaker.They stated that the first device had always helped and they realized that the old device had settings that went from 30-40 and they think they were at a 3, which the didn't even exist for the new device, which caused a lot of trouble.It was reviewed for the patient to follow up with a managing hcp.No further complications were reported/anticipated.
