Hello and welcome to HCM,
The symptoms of vomiting, weakness and tiredness are not symptoms of pace maker stopping.
However, infection is a potential complication of pace maker or any other instrument insertion.
These symptoms could be due to infection.
Tiredness is commonly seen in anemia or any other condition wherein ample blood is not pumped to various body parts.
Thus, consultation with your treating cardiologist id required.
Thanks and take care
