Long pauses in heart beat ?

Long pauses in heart beat ?

I am used to having PVC`s and PAC`s but started having long pauses in my heart rate.  It just feels as my heart has stopped, I get very dizzy and light headed. When my heart starts beating again I have fast and slow heart rate with PVC`s.  I have an ICD/PACER but have not got paced or shocked.
Can anyone explain to me what is happening ?  Is this just a normal reaction from HOCM ?  I hope someone can shed some light on the subject for me, I hate going to the doctor.

Your ICD would have shocked if the setting parameters were reached.  Perhaps it feels as though it is stopping for longer than you think.  Unfortunately, like it or not, you need to question your doctor about this one.  If you are getting lightheaded, he needs to check your settings to make sure.
