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.

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...

my manual from Biotronik speaks to electro magnetic interference and care to avoid. Airport scanners both walk through and hand held and the chain saw??? Does anyone have any experience with quality EMI measurement devices that might be worth using to measure the amount of EMI present?

Greetings from a Newbee... I, of course, have become watchful & wary of other electronic devices I may be around- Heck, I even wrapped Alum-foil around my "Smart-meter"(it's under my bedroom window). So when my son gave me a wire-less computer keyboard, I became a tad concerned...The owners manual says 6 inches but what do they know...? Anyone have any inside poop on that issue? thanks & Merry Christmas, Electroboy

I have a name tag which has a very powerful magnet to keep the name tag on my person. The magnet even has a warning to keep it away from a pacemaker. Is it safe to wear the name tag on the right side of my chest, the PM is of course high up on the left side.?

Evening,
I have booked a Radio Frequency facial and just discovered that apparently RF interfers with the pacemaker.
I am struggling to understand why a RF wand on my face will interfere with the PM? This is not a super strong RF as it is a beauty treatment.
Anyone had any experience of this?
Thanks

I am having a precautionary nuclear ☢️ stress test .
not really because of symptoms and mostly because I think it makes sense (I've also met my deductible this year ) as I have had artery issues in the past.
ive had several tests before .... I know the radioactive tracer stuff is harmless or at least low risk .
what about the camera they use ? I think it's a gamma camera? Any concerns there for a pacemaker implanted patient ?

As for my pacemaker (almost 7 years old) I like to think of it in the terms of the old Timex commercial - takes a licking and keeps on ticking.
