Brief Answer:
No!

Detailed Answer:
Hi,
I'm so sorry to hear about the concerns,

A pacemaker cannot cause these symptoms. These symptoms would rather be suggestive of a possible senile dementia or Alzheimer's diseases. At this outset, I'd suggest that you follow up with a neurologist for thorough evaluation of the neurological state and make sure all is okay.

I wish you well. Feel free to follow up with me for more information and clarifications if need be.
Kind regards
