re positioning

Hi All,
has anyone had their pacemaker moved, I need to get mine moved, had it implanted in June this year, and it sticks out, Dr said it could cut thru skin and that would be a problem as its hard to clear up infections from that, it also flips over, well almost aobut 90% when Im asleep or lie on my side, its like flipping a box of matches on its side, dont think it ever embedded properly. Also it aches most of the time.
One more thing, sorry for burning your ears off, I had a mammogram the other day, bit tricky moving around for it and my pacemaker is aching more than usual since then, odd little shocks sometimes, is the only way I can describe it also getting light headed, thought I would pass out a few times, just dont feel right mine is a medtronic AAI - DDD Also feeling very Very tired any suggestions Thanks for listening

I finished 29th in London in 2 hours 20 minutes 30 seconds which is my fastest with or without a device so clearly it didn’t slow me down ! I had no problems apart from some slight chaffing on my scar - more Vaseline next time.
