Hiya,
I was the same. My pm implant was Jan 09 and I felt like my heart was trying to get out of my chest! It was worse at night but I think that was just cos it was quiet and you don't have as many distractions so notice it more. I was told that it was because I was pacing so much ventrically (99%) and that if you didn't pace much there and more atrially then you wouldn't notice it as much.
I don't often notice it now I have got used to it but it is still there

I was reading your post and thought me too too ! At night only, I hear my heart beating more. Before my pacemaker implant in 2002, I never heard it before. I think maybe I am listening more closely and lying there thinking too much. I do not think its anything is wrong, it is just us "pacemaker people" paying attention more to our bodies. Don't worry it nothing .......

thanks guys..very comforting..John
