Why did you get your pm? If you are otherwise healthy, if the pm fixes your heart problems, you should be able to do whatever you want. If your device is very close to the collarbone, be careful with heavy barbells, you can pinch the leads.

Gyming?

Whatever gyming is, you should be OK. I'm 21, and got my ICD implanted at 19. My doctor said wait 90 days for the leads to grow in, and I have pretty well no limitations now. If you mean gyming as in going to a gym to lift weights, I see no reason not to, as long as heart problems don't prevent it.

Yes I am a gyming person as well, implanted last January 2013, 71 yrs old. Listen to your body and your senses. Heavy weights can be harmful I use to lift my body weight, very much enjoy lifting. But my program is much lighter now with less work on my chest and shoulders. I do moderate to heavy, curls, biceps and vigorously work legs. Slowly moving to stomach again. May not be what you want to hear but in any case listen to your Dr. for the first year. You're young and have the rest of your life for gyming.
Good gyming, Lee

You know you're wired when...

You need to be re-booted each morning.
