If no other problems

First question is if you've discussed with your EP or cardiologist. That would be my first step.

Second question would be if you're running a fever, have sharp pains, or anything unusual that makes you feel bad. If so, you'd need to get it checked out.

Based upon your bio you look to be about 19? If that's so, your body is still going through a lot of changes. Having a foreign object inside your body can give you strange feelings at times.

There will be movements that you cant understand from now on. If you have been checked and everything is ok try to get used to the feelings that are not serious. I have had my second pacemaker replaced four weeks. ago and I had the first one for 8 years. you learn what movements are normal for the pacemaker and soon disregard them. A lot of the getting used to is psychological as well as physical.
Good luck.DD

Yes I am 19 and my next check up is next month the movement just started to happen so hopefully I will get use to it. Thanks theknotguy
