pacemaker in heart

I am 54 year old male. I have been told that I will have to put a pacemaker of the heart. But before going for the pacemaker, I wanted the full details about it? How does it work? What care I should be taking? Will it be comfortable? And the most important thing are there any side effects of pacemaker?
