You should have your pacer interrogated to extract information about your heart during exercise.  It is possible that you could have an arrhythmia, especially that most pacers don't pace this fast.  The alternative is that your own conduction system is healthy and capable of conducting this fast during exertion.  As far as the symptoms go, I wonder if they are related to RV pacing which may occur rest if your lower rate limit and the atrioventircular delay are set a certain way.  I would recommend seeing the cardiologist who put in the device to address these issues.
