Pacemaker repositioning procedure

Since having my pacemaker moved slightly just over two weeks ago I keep getting a slight sudden sharp pain by the pacemaker , it’s a bit painful and like a very mild shock . It’s that sudden and only lasts just a couple of seconds but does kind of make me take a breath in when it happens . Just wondered if anyone gets this feeling .It’s been happening for a few days now , I also get shoulder pain that occasionally travels Dian my left arm .

Two weeks is a very short time so possibly the pm is causing a bit of nerve pain as it settles in, if you are worried call the pacing techs for advice. I’ve had mine over 2 years and still occasionally get nervy type twinges and jabs.
