call your doctor

see your cardologist or nurse, certanly after this much time you know what normal feels like, even if you hit it or bumped it or moved it somehow which can hurt for a while just like any other injury on your body.  but better to make sure you have not put it in a position that might pull out or break a lead or something undesireable like that.

 

if it doesnt physically feel right and you know what right is, and you know if you did or didnt bump it, call them..  I dont know about the ER, those are general docs that deal with all kinds of other things, they might get you to a cardologist faster, but maybe just calling your doc is best they deal with pacers every day and know what to ask you or know what to look for...
