Dear Madam
Generally speaking an infection after four years of implantation of pacemaker is uncommon but not unlikely. Moreover, your doctor has examined you and reassured you. However you must consult him again if you have a documented fever, redness or swelling or discharge near pacemaker pocket site or if you have any unacceptable symptoms.
For simple dizziness, you can consult your GP.
Sincerely
