dancing shoulder muscles

Hello fellow pacemaker buddies!

I was fitted with a new pacemaker in my left shoulder around last Christmas after previous complications with my old one. But not long after I had recovered from the surgery I began having very odd muscle palpitations; my pec muscles literally jump around under my skin and you can actually see the area by the pacemaker pulsing, my heart starts racing and my breath feels a bit short.

I first thought it only occurred when I exert myself for a long duration, for instance when taking a long tiring walk. But yesterday I was going up the stairs when it happened again, it only does it for a few moments and it stops sooner when I stand still for a few minutes.

Is this quite common? Or could there be an electricity leakage causing my muscles to dance about? Could I have been holding my shoulder in a way that complicates the wires?

Thanks for any advice.
