Didn't think of it

I purchased an electric recliner with masssager.  I did not even remember I have a pacemaker implant.  I've been equipped since  2010.  This is my second one.  So  - can I use the chair?  I don't like massages so I wold not be using the massager,  but I do need help to pull the levers, etc.

I use an electric recliner since pushing the buttons is easier that using a manual one with levers.  As to the massage part i do not know the answer.   If it has a magnetic and keep it 6 inches from your pacemaker.  They generally say it is ok.                                                                                   Seems a waste not to use the massage part.

I use an electric recliner at times. No problem. 

I've got one too

To be honest, I didn't even give it a thought as to whether or not I should use it post implant, I just did.

No issues.

I'm sitting on one now.  There is no problem with the little motors in home appliances.  There is little in a home that could come up to the level of being unlikely to cause any problems.

I love my electric recliner and wondered if it would be a problem for my pacemaker.

I also have an electric adjustable bed.   Will that be a problem?  It has a latex mattress.

I just want to share about the quality of life after my pacemaker, and hopefully increase awareness that lifestyles do not have to be drastically modified just because we are pacemaker recipients.
