Just want to say I'm sorry this happened to you. You sound like someone whose pretty active and I'm guessing the condition is gonna put a damper on that.
I suffer from a degenerative heart disease myself and have an AICD for about 12-13 years (got a change in 2012, yea the battery runs out). I never experienced a first attack and my condition was found out through a normal body check up, which wasn't much of a surprise because both my siblings had it. I did get shock a few times though and it sucks. When you feel something 'rolling' around your chest area, find somewhere and sit down. Take care to not get too breathless. Also, apparently having fever would cause some issues too, so keep yourself healthy!
