You should tell your doctor about every shock you feel from your ICD. The settings of your ICD may need to be adjusted, or your medicines may need to be changed. Also call your doctor if:
Your wound looks infected. Signs of infection are redness, increased drainage, swelling, and pain. You are having the symptoms you had before your ICD was implanted. You are dizzy, have chest pain, or are short of breath. You have hiccups that do not go away. You were unconscious for a moment. Your ICD has sent a shock and you still do not feel well or you pass out. Talk to your doctor about when to call the doctor's office.
