Hello,
It is unlikely to have seizures as side effect of pace maker. Seizures occur due to abnormal nerve transmission in brain. Whether your mother is having seizures or not needs to be ascertained by clinical assessment. I suggest you to take your mother to the neurologist physically.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
