I work with oil burners with transformers, hand and table power tools, battery-powered lifts, generators, air conditioners, furnaces, etc. I also do all my own work on my boat, truck and Harley. Does anyone know if I can continue this work without getting shocked by my ICD? What precautions need to be taken? Is there any way to shield ourselves from the EMF? I ordered an EMF meter but I'm not sure what levels of gauss is damaging to my ICD. Anyone know...

Hello, I am 100 percent paced due to complete heart block. I was wondering if anyone has had any problems from weighing themselves. On my last checkup I have some irregularities and I am wondering if this could be the problem as the irregularities are on the same date as I got weighed.

Hello all, I have had a pacemaker ( due to bradycardia ) for a year or so.
I set up and use a P.A. system and radio microphone 3 or 4 days a week , sometimes more, which involves lifting and moving speakers. Should I be careful of proximity when they are in use ? They are typically 500 - 1000 watts in power, although not usually run at maximum volume.
Thanks , Fozzy65

Do not mess with a garage door opener if you have a pacemaker. Here is the story.
On January 5, I had a garage door tech repair the railings and tightened the springs. After working the door four or five times, it quit. He checked the parts and said it was the capacitor. He replaced it. Worked fine. He told me that if the the door stop again, I would need a new motor. On January 6, it quit again. I almost quit also.
while standing on metal ladder, I opened the cover to the o...
hot tub

Is it ok to use a hot tub with a pacemaker implant? I have read several articles. For the most part these articles say it's ok but I found two that say it is not. My cardiologist told me it was ok but only to use it for 15 minutes and sit for a while prior to standing up.
Any feedback is appreciated.
Thank you

I was just wondering if it makes a difference where you choose to sit on a plane once you have an ICD/Pacemaker? I usually prefer to sit over the wings ( less motion sickness lol) but are those big jet engines likely to cause some interference with my device (dual lead Boston Scientific ICD)? Can altitude effect it and cause any side affects? How many of you here fly regularly and have any of you experienced any problems - from going through security to landing at your desti...

Unusual pulsing under ribs

Have been experiencing unusual visual pulsing under my left ribs,
one to three at a time always precisely 8 minutes to the hour, generally
every other hour. No pain just odd experience. Have been back to cardiology, they say all is well, it's just the pacemaker making adjustments. Just surprised
at the frequency. Any one else with similar experience out there?

While waiting for my doctor to respond I thought I'd ask you experts... So I was plugging in my laptop charger into the wall outlet and I got an electric shock that reached my elbow. Is there any way that could cause my pm to malfunction?

First post, 24 hours out of pacemaker installation! Had less time to wrap my brain around having it done, this was a complete shock to me. Anyone have any information about Drone use? Since my phone hooks up to my remote control and they both interact wirelessly with each other along with multiple satellite use....anyone have any negative physical experiences? (Mavic Pro). Suggestions?

I've had my pacemaker for about 3 months. It's very prominenent under my left clavicle. I'm thin and athletic. Was this the best spot to put it? A friend of mine has his deeper and lower under the pectoralis muscle. When I lie on my side it pinches sometimes. Also I feel it during my golf swing sometimes. Is this the most common site; just under the clavicle? Why do you think the MD chose that spot over the other?
Thanks,&n...

Thank you for paying attention to my inquiry.
I found a very good apartment and want to move there, but the owner told me there is no gas stove, and they have only electric range/stove.
I know induction cooctop (IH) affects pacemaker, but my question is, does electric range also affect it?
Since I've had some troubles with my device, I really want to avoid anything that could affect it egatively.
I would appreciate if you could share your opinion about it.
