music in church

Hi everyone!! It's brokenheart! I just wanted to know if any of you ever felt any problems with speakers...see i go to church a lot and there is a lot of loud music and i dont really sit close to the speakers but last week i felt very weak when i was in church and the music seemed awefully loud that day. Anyway, my heart was pounding hard but it was slower than normal and all of a sudden i started feeling dizzy like i was almost going to pass out. does any one know if loud music can affect your pacemaker? thanks in advance and God bless.

Speakers

I have never heard of the music being a problem but I have read about large speakers causing trouble. Maybe sit a little farther back from the speakers. I was wondering about the same thing in our contemporary service this Sunday when I was fairly close to the speakers. I don't know how close is too close and how large the speakers have to be to cause a problem so I am just going to move back a few rows.

Hello Brokenheart - I have had my pacemaker for just a year. I attend THE mega-church in Orange County Ca and like to sit fairly close to the front. The music is very loud and I have never felt a thing other than the joy of the Lord! Just recently I was at a Gaither Concert and we were very close to the speakers which were blaring and again I had no problems. For peace-of-mind though you should ask your EP or cardiolgist. As you have read many times: we are all different in how our body responds. I think moving back a few rows until you speak to your physician is a good idea. When I sit really close I worry much more about the impact on my hearing! Take care and God bless.
