Does anyone know if the pacemaker interferes with the fitbit's operation. I have not bought one yet. Thought i would check here to see if others may have some experience with the fitbit and pacemaker operation.

I live in Alaska. It gets very cold here sometimes. I'm curious how cold is to cold? -20, -40? It's been as cold as -80! I don't leave the warm house at that temp if I can help it but what if I need to help bring in wood? I know my body keeps the pacemaker warm but it's close to the skin and I just don't know the parameters .

I was wondering if there is a conflict with the Medtronic pacemaker and using a Far Infrared mattress. Suffering from major arthritis and was hoping for a little relief from chronic pain.
The mattress will be plugged into a 120v, and the infrared mattress is underneath the regular mattress pad. There is also a layer that protects from EMF. The infrared emits very low levels, especially at a 0 setting which will have most often.
Thanks in advance for any feedback.

My mom is 89 years old and has been wearing a Pace Maker since May/2013. She wants to visit my brother which is 23 hours flight in total. She is in good health. Will flying in plane interfere with the pace make. Does the screaming sound when the plane takes off interfere with her pace maker.

Hello every one, I need your comments again, I am very sensitive to cell phone lap tops and wireless routers. my challenge is that I have to trouble to Panama in 2 weeks and know that most planes have hot spots, passengers will be using their devices. I am concerned how this will affect me. I am wondering if the voltage can be lowered.

I have just had my third PM replacement, a Biotronik Evia DR-T with a home monitoring transmitter. My car is a Nissan Qashqai which has a keyless system and I note in the handbook that drivers/passengers who have pacemakers fitted are advised to consult the PM manufacturers before using the vehicle. I emailed Biotronik in Germany and received a reply within the hour, the following is their reply which may assist other PM patients

Hi, I am new to the club and am not sure how to search for messages about keyless entry/ignition systems and their possible interference with pacemakers. I may soon ride as a passenger in a Lexus Hybrid and someone told me there may be an issue with my pacemaker. An old article from the manufacturer (Boston Scientific) says no reported issues but there are no guarantees! I intend to go over this with my doc but thought I would ask you guys too! Thanks.

At work I have to microwave lunches for kids. After 30 minutes of heating their lunches, my pacemaker - heart starts fluttering. This continues for several hours. It happens every day that I heat lunches for the kids. I know they say microwave ovens are safe, but this happens only after I use that microwave oven. Am I getting too much exposure? Can this fluttering be harming my pacemaker? On weekends when I'm not at work I do not feel this happening. I'm in a small room, at work, while I...

I get mine on April 25 2014, and i'm a retired 72 year old that is a very active guy, who wants a pacemaker that would work better for working on electronics it seems the doctors and nurses are clueless about EMF and EMI And I would become depressed if I couldn't do my TV repair work and i was told my doctor would pick the one for me just before he does it

Has anyone used this pain relief which works on pulsed, electro-magnetic field? It says not for pacemaker users but I wonder whether it's just CYA again. If I wanted to use it on lower back or knees is it likely to cause any problem? Would I be ok to try it, and what should I look out for ?
Any thoughts would be appreciated.

Has anyone asked their doctor if you can use the microcurrent face kit if you have a pacemaker?? They say to ask your doctor if you have a pacer. Need to know today if possible. Thanks
