hi, I am Dr Mittal.
I have read your message.
I think I can help you.

The defibrillators leads if touching the body surface or organ can cause a similar sense. However, this is usually on the chest and shoulder.
Only a cardiologist can check the leads.So meet up with him. if that is normal you need not worry.

I have tried to make it as simple as possible. I hope that the information contained in this message will be able to help you find the best solution for your problem. Best of luck. Dr Mittal.
