Doe anyone have any knowledge of the Portal device (Facebook technology) and its effect on ICDs? Just received the Portal for making great video calls ( and a fantastic picture display frame) which projects all my photos but in the Notifications, privacy, etc., which I always read, it's stated that it may interfere with some implanted devices such as pacemakers.. Apparently there is a magnet to the component, which looks just like a picture frame, and it uses Wi-Fi to send and recei...

Hi all, I'm quite concerned about the effects 5G will have on our pacemakers. If you have read all the conspiracy theories about 5G, they are rolling it out here in Australia and most parts of the world, while we are all in lockdown, towers are going up all over the place and as the schools are empty they are out putting it in... (this is actually happening, countries like Switzerland, Belgium etc are banning it till they study the health effects)

Hi everyone... I’m new here. I just joined the pacemaker club. I have other questions which I’ll post at a different time. But for now, I have what amounts to a really unimportant question, especially compared to the many serious posts and comments I’ve seen here. Nevertheless, I’ll go ahead and ask my question. Maybe someone will have an answer.
I’d like to get laser hair removal done. In the past, (pre-pacemaker), I did hav...

While I have had my pacemaker/ICD since June, 2019....it was not until weeks ago that I am now totally dependant on my device. This of course creates anxiety over its reliability and interferences.
While I have always been cautious.....it seems now to be a priority as a failure on my device would be catastrophic.
I have read from my manufacturers website all the items that are safe or to use precautions......BUT, I am curious if you can share what items/procedures...

Hi,
I had to get a pacemaker in October 2019. My electrical system was nicked, when a new aortic valve was replaced, which led me to get the pacemaker.
Every day, I feel the "kick" in the middle of my chest, right between my breasts. It's a very quick, sometimes a little sharp, pain. It is usually one kick, maybe two, hours apart.
Yesterday, they started more often and a little more sharp. It feels like what I would imagine a baby kicking inside...

Had my first Medtronic 2-lead pacemaker implanted on my birthday (lucky me) in 2009, and had it replaced the day before Thanksgiving in 2019. Instead of the old style transmittal device, I was issued the new Medtronic wireless Home Communicator. I have experienced problems with breathing and sleeping since the new pacemaker was implanted. Yesterday, I unplugged the thing and have felt better since then. Tomorrow (Monday) I'll talk with my doctor over the phone to t...

Hi,
I am trying to rehab my shoulder from a frozen shoulder and I just bought one of these -
https://powerballs.com/shop/powerspin-isometric-exerciser
It says on the box - don't use it with any kind of heart condition!
Do you think it will interfere with my pacemaker or are they just covering themselves over the 'exercise' nature of the product, raising the heart rate etc.
It does seem to generate a little bit of static elect...

Please help!
I've had a Medtronic Advisa for the past 9 years. For the past few years all has been well. But late last year my PM check-up showed a 30 second pacing inhibition. When it occurred I was staying at a large rented property that my husband runs a classical musical festival at. I've been there twice a year for 5 years with no incident.
PM tech suggested the inhibition was caused by either a faulty shower or ungrounded appliance. But I've checked with the owne...

Recent questions from members about haidressing have tended to be about driers etc. My concern is the clippers. I have to keep even fairly weak magnetic fields , e.g. from loudspeakers i mobile 'phones, away (so must always hold my 'phone to my RIGHT ear, and AC fields, e.g. from induction hobs, or welders are also likely to scramble the programming. I know the motors in hair clippers are very small, but is there any possibly that they could be a problem if they come very close t...
