@lindat2025 I've had my pacemaker for nearly 7 years, have no problems at all with it. But when I turn over to my right side in bed it seems the pacemaker shifts towards my left shoulder and I can feel its edge against the tissue there. I've found it helpful to have a soft pillow under my left arm that raises the arm to the level of the rest of me when lay on my right side. It's comfortable and that way I don't think the pacemaker moves much if at all. Hope that helps.
