Will The Temporary Stoppage Of The Defibrillator Lead To Complications?
I have Dialated Cardiomyopathy and last week my defibrillator went off while I was walking with a friend..my heart raced over 200 bpm and after 2 shocks it went to give me a third. I wasn't doing anything overly strenuous so very suprised it went off. Does that mean its more likely to go off in the future? Could my situation be getting worse?

Yes, it will. You are asking about implanted defibrillator in your body right. This device battery has to be changed after some time.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
