Pacemaker and defibulator

I have had my pacemaker about 3 years now and recently I have begun to have pain as I try to sleep on my left side It feels like the pacemaker has moved or is pressing on something. I cannot sleep on my right side where as I have a catheter in the right side This allows the medication to flow directly to my heart. Don't know if there are devises that may help the pain to sleep

Sleep

Since I got my ICD I have not been able to sleep on my left side at all, period. Just feels very strange like there is a pressure.

I am no expert, but I believe that without the defibrillator that I have, I would be dead.
