The last 10 days I’ve been getting more episodes of thumps by my pacemaker . Earlier tonight I had a glass of squash , not icy cold but after I’d had a drink I could feel my heart beating , a really strong feeling and I’m sure I could hear it too, sounds mad but that’s how it felt. I’ve been getting feelings of thumping in my chest by my pacemaker the last 10 days but this has really nade me wonder whats going on. Have I lost the plot 🤣🤣🤣

Call your cardiologist. He's the only one who can tell you. Good luck.

The thumping may be due to ectopic beats - I get a lot of them - but it would be best to check with your cardiology team.
