There are a few potential side effects of having an implantable Defibrillator go into shock. One is that it can cause pain and discomfort in the chest area where the device was implanted. Additionally, it can cause a feeling of shortness of breath, dizziness, or lightheadedness. Another potential side effect is that it can cause a change in heart rhythm, which could lead to cardiac arrest. Finally, if the device goes into shock too often, it could eventually wear out and need to be replaced.
