ICD Question

Hi Everyone! I am 38yo and had an ICD fitted about 5 years ago with no problems/shocks so far thankfully. I have a condition which is referred to as 'Non-compaction of the Left Ventricle' Apparently rare ( Lucky me :-) lol).

So far I have been able to go about my life exactly the same. However I am going to Orlando this year and am a massive roller coaster fan so assuming I cannot go on them now especially if they have an over the shoulder bars.

Anyone else with an ICD spoke to their doctor about this or even been on big roller coasters please let me know.

Thanks All!

Hi

Sorry can't answer your question, but one thing that would concern me is how your Insurance would view it has most Roller Coasters have the sign " People with Heart Conditions should not use this ride "

Do you not think you are on a Roller Coaster with your Heart Condition lol
