Healing after having a pacemaker and defibrillator implanted and others in my group for support on Facebook experienced similar anxiety after loud noises or any type of anxious settings that are sudden onset and trigger the flight or fight syndrome

I think all of our nerves have been shot for a long time and then we start healing and our heart is working better and stronger and now and we get an adrenaline shot it's like 10 times normal or something crazy because everything is functioning properly. That's what I feel like because I heard a loud crack the other day and it scared the you-know-what out of me and I'm not typically like that either and so it alarmed me but then I realize hey I'm healthier than ever and that's a natural flight or fight response and if I needed that energy to blast off and save myself I had it. That let me feel assured and calmed me down but until we learn to think through these things more thoroughly and logically and rationally trying to learn our new bodies, it can be confusing as hell and it's difficult when we don't have guides. We must continue to communicate like this and cross pollinate our ideas and our experience because it is these coping mechanisms that make this transition turning into a cyborg a hell of a lot easier. nobody seems to understand or give a good goddamn about the trauma that I experienced and I was dead and revived and all the way to I'm almost 10 months past that time of August 12th 2018 and today I have a normal and perfect day and in less than 60 days I will be seeing my cardiologist to adjust the pacemaker and meds and review the most recent round of lab work and my echocardiogram and I found out today so far from my regular doctor that my ejection fraction was 55% which is incredible ! I see theorized about the loud bang and my adrenaline the other day and to learn today that my ejection fraction is so high and is an excellent sign only confirms and again reassures my thoughts exactly as I outlined herein. I feel like my metabolism has sped up and of course I am more active and burning more calories anyway also so I just keep getting more pumped up in the more excited and accomplishing more and more and I just hope we all slowly pace ourselves and slowly enjoy the changes we make as we heal and move into these new lives. I pray that we all made know new lives and happiness, many of us have struggled a long time. I hope that may help. I hope your anxiety eases... everyone in here seems like such a wonderful kind caring into emotional people and I think we all have anxiety and are quite I'll say overly emotional often that's just my hunch from everything I read in all of these threads in the last 10 months. I'm trying to breathe a little deeper and smile a little bit more and push a little harder each day can develop better better coping mechanisms as I fight back against heart disease for every minute I can get.
