More info: If you are feeing a jerk or spasm with each heart beat, the pacemaker could be stimulating your diaphragm to contract. See you doc.

Would you recommend a pacemaker for a 60 year old male patient who has long heart pauses (up to 8-9 seconds) only at night or during naps, 30 times per week, but has no other symptoms whatsoever? Would the pacemaker extend life expectancy?
