has anyone ever had any issues using a ten machine with their pacemakers? Physio uses one on my lower back and now I have an ache on the left side of my chest, just wondering if its from the tens machine or just coincidence.

Do any of you know if IT equipment like servers .routers, switches will affect a pacemaker. Giong to eventually start a career in the IT field. Was wondering if any have experience in this field. Not sure if a data center that has lots of equipment and also maybe ac cooling will have an effect or not to worry. I use computers and smart phone devices no problems.

Update.....

Thank you for your comment.

My electrocardiologist explained to me yesterday what happens when I come within an erea of a stronger EMF such as in speakers or large subwoofers which have many large magnets. I was told not just speakers/subwoofers but I may feel it when I am on my riding lawnmower or using my brush-cutter.... I guess it switches my pacemaker to a 100% full time control of pacing my heart and that could be anywhere between 85 beats to 140 beat...

Hi,

I had my PM surgery 4 years ago and things are fine overall. Recently I developed pain in my fore arm and wrist area and tried different options.Now I am trying Accupunture.My doctor wants to use micro currents to stimuate the needles and says its most effective and he knows that I have a PM implanted. I asked my Cardiologist and he says they can interfere with PM and advises against any electrical stimulation. When I told my Accupuncturist about this he said he treated many patient...

I'd like to buy my father a heated scarf and/or vest, is it ok or is it intefering with normal operation?
Is there another way to heat up the air prior to inhaling? He also has lung problems, cold air is his nemesis #1.

I know through the years I've read posts about dolphins not doing well with ICDs, but since I am now 10 years older than when I first joined the group, I've forgotten what the info was. I am traveling to Dominican Republic soon and wanted to have the opportunity of swimming with dolphins, but heard they are "offended" by pacemakers and ICDs; that it interferes with their high-pitched clicking. Anyone have this experience?

Thanks from a very grat...

Have pacemaker 7 yrs, AV node ablation 5 yrs. Bought smart tv. Few days later had AF but mainly ecoptic, this happened every few days then next giddy, loss balance. Went to Doc who sent to hospital for tests. No information provided to me nor report to Doc. Then I see that this device (smart tv) should not be used with pacemaker. Of course by this I was blaming wireless/wifi and possibly incorrect installation. Returned TV. I keep my wireless switched off. I installed previous TV which is fre...
