My PM flips when I turn on my side while sleeping

I'm not even a month out from surgery and have noticed that my pacemaker flips when I lay on my right side (My cardiologist placed it further down toward my breast tissue). When I turn to lay on my back, I have to push it down flat. Is this something of which to be concerned with? Thanks in advance :)

I sleep on my side also. the only time I really feel it is when I first wake up and sit straight. I can feel it moving down.I asked the cardiologist and he said that's normal.

You know you're wired when...

Your pacemaker receives radio frequencies.

As for my pacemaker (almost 7 years old) I like to think of it in the terms of the old Timex commercial - takes a licking and keeps on ticking.
