I have had my pacemaker since april of 2014.  I have always had minor pain and the occasional itching around the place it sits, but recently I have been having more sharp and sudden pain spikes.  Some range from a second or so and are bearable, others last a few seconds and feel like a hammer to the chest.  My left arm has been aching more and more lately, so here I am to ask and see if others have experienced anything like this.  The pain isn't stimulated by physical activity, more often then not it happens when I am at rest or trying to lay down and get some sleep. I am just worried because it seems to have become far more frequent and less and less like its sitting on an angry nerve.  I appreciate any and all feedback from others. 

Thanks in advance for your replies.
