Help me understand this?

A history about me. I had a SCA in January of 2024 which I survived due to bystander CPR and AED usage. As a result I received an SICD Fast forward to last week, I had my first event with my ICD where it says I had two separate events roughly in a minute-10 seconds-ish. It says VT possible torsades and then I was also told VFib. A cause of these have never been identified. I was reviewing my provider notes today and saw this in my chart from a couple days ago. Help me understand it and what questions I should ask.

"his past EKGs from 2025 where there was subtle notching and slurring at the terminal complex of QRS with ascending ST segment elevation, findings suspicious for early repolarization/J- wave syndrome. Though it is difficult to conclusively diagnose given his clinical presentation, this remains a very plausible diagnosis."

Thanks!

Received my first ICD shock

Hello! This is my first time posting, as I have read before. I received an SICD due to a SCA in early 2024. Earlier this week I received my first shock. I passed out/fainted in my bathroom and apparently had two events total which resulted in three shocks. Looks like I may have been in torsades then VFib. I'm 40 now and was 37 during my SCA. Still processing a lot of anxiety from this latest incident as I rememeber all bit a small portion of it. The anxiety is REAL of it happening again whereas before I thought it may never happen. I have no known cause identified for my SCA event and this most recent. I was hoping this community could provide a bit of support. Thanks!
