Hi
Thank you for sharing with HCM
I read your query and understand your concern
I don't think that you are suffering those symptoms from pace maker
Probably it is gastritis
You should try omeprasol (PPI) and be carefully with your diet
Use healthy diet full of vegetables
Eat small meals oftenly
If symptoms persist after treatment contact your doctor
Wish you good health and fast recovery
Feel free to contact me further questions or queries
Regards
