Electric Bed.

5 Replies

Does anyone else use an electric bed with massager ? I use mine most nights. I asked my doctor and she said she had no idea. I just wondered with having AF.

I use a cyclomassage bed but not to sleep on, it's brilliant.

Why do you ask?

in reply toCDreamer

I asked because I wondered if the vibration could start my palpitations or affect my AF.

The only effect I have found is that it promotes neuropathetic pathways which reduces pain and increases relaxation and muscle response. If you are particularly sensitive to electro magnetic fields - the bed I have has been tested and passes all guidelines. My Hubbie uses it with pacemaker - it is pacemaker safe.

Never had any adverse effects palpitation wise.

I sometimes sit in an electric massage chair and it makes no difference. I can't see why it would.

I can't see why there should be any problem.
