pacemaker

I received a cardiac pacemaker over 1 year ago. It was placed because my heart rate would not go above 19 beats per min. I have had no problems until today i have been having shortness of breathe with intense pain at site of implant. Is this anything to be concerned about?

Obviously the incision that was made for the pacemaker has healed by now. But some people find their pacemaker can shift around a bit and cause discomfort or a lead can break. Rare but it can happen. Your symptoms sound severe enough that you should contact your doctor ASAP.
