I have same symptoms. I also have a Watchman implanted.No one listens. I pitched a fit over teams lack of response that they sent me to ER. Just a waste of time and money. Ekg, bloodwork, xray, ct scan. Referred back to cardiologist who has ordered an echocardiogram. It isn't a heart pain but, like you, a pacemaker site pain. Symproms worsened after the Watchman. I guess it is just something we will have to live with.

I am just over two months from having my pacemaker put in. I woke up one night with a burning sensation by my incision area plus a horrible feeling of my skin feeling tight. My doctor said my incision was still warm and swollen so continued my restrictions. My burning sensation is getting worse, literally wakes me up at night. Can’t get comfortable to fall asleep and to put on a bra, FORGET IT. My doctor thinks it is going to take me longer to heal due to my fibromyalgia. Anyone else have any recommendations, I literally think about the pain and bringing all day! I go see my cardiologist next week.
