i am a 30 year old with CHF.  i have had a defibrillator in me for about 3 years now. On Sunday it fired and shocked me 5 times.  they said my heart rate was at 170 and wouldn't go dwn thats why the defibrillator was firing shocks.  i stayed in the hospital that night and during the middle of the night they said i went into vtach a few times.   im so scared i cant sleep.  they gave me amiodarone to take to help the irregular heartbeats.  what are my options.  what is the chance it will happen again
