My question is this, I have felt my pacer go off at least 9 times in past 2 days where as I never felt before. I am leaving on vacation on Mar 7th and am concerned, should I be?

Hello
Welcome to Ask a Doctor service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
If you do not have any symptoms like breathing difficulty fainting then it is nothing to worry still the only option to get done the testing for pacing, and for that you have to consult the cardiologist.
Hope I have answered your query, let me know for further assistance,
