Pain around pacemaker site

I am experiencing the same issues. Mine was inserted on August 4 2020. It’s always been uncomfortable and hurts when I turn over at night. Now I am having high heart rates and sharp jabs in my left shoulder area and pacemaker area. I have an appointment in the morning. Hopefully will get resolved.

@stormlyn Hi I thought I might mention a strange feeling my wife had after her Covid Shot. It was some discomfort in the area where the pacemaker usually sits. She doesn't have a pacemaker but I thought I might mention that. It was on the same side as where she received the vaccine. So might be a possibility the newer discomfort from that. It did pass and She no longer is having an issue.
I once had a pacemaker until my heart transplant so I know a little but never any sharp pain just it would get itchy at times. Plus laying on that side did at times cause some discomfort.
I hope all goes well with your Dr apt.
Blessings
