I’m not clear on what he was supposed to do in response to this. Is it a situation where if he were to sit down and relax he could resolve the arrhythmia? Or is this a notification mechanisms that he can then alert his doctors? (My question is why was this designed to be an extreme “notification “)?

He just wanted some kind of warning to get himself mentally prepared or braced for the kick - maybe take a quick breath, pull out of the way a tool he's using, whatever, or just reduce the surprise factor. As he said, the second one that he knew was coming was not such a big deal. It was definitely not to try to resolve it, that was up to the pacemaker/defib.
