Is it muscular pain or cardiac pain?

My pacemaker was sewn into my pectoral muscle one year after original implant because it had migrated too much. Recently I have pain in the left side every time I deep breathe but it doesn't prevent me from a swim or a walk. My cardiologist says he will place a monitor to detect where exactly the pain is coming from. Does anyone have this experience? Thanks.

Pleuritic pain?

Heartfelt, yes I have experienced pain on breathing deeply in the past when I was diagnosed with pleurisy.  My doctors tell me this type of chest pain is usually pleuritic in nature rather than heart related.   I see you have had your pacemaker relocated because it had migrated but this was some years ago so I am assuming the area is well healed by now?  Hope this is sorted quickly for you
