I should clarify, this is my second battery , my first ICD was after the SCA in 2012. I had not experienced any symptoms at all prior to the SCA, so it was extremely scary, especially for my family since I don’t remember anything about it. I haven’t read many posts yet but intend to. Besides experiencing some inappropriate shocks, I’m doing great!

@jklstone I agree with Debra that it's so helpful to others to share your story. If you have 100 people, there would be 100 very unique stories. Those SCA are sneaky, I had a couple of syncope, no memories of them, just regained consciousness, before I received my ICD 3+ years ago. So glad we are able to benefit from this life-saving technology. Looking forward to reading your story!
