Is it O.K. to wear a fitbit when you have a pacemaker in? I know that you have to keep anything electrical about 12 inches away and I worry when I sleep that I will put my arm up under my pillow and it will be too close. To be honest I don't know what a fitbit exactly measures but I thought it would be better than nothing.
I also wonder if there is another gadget better than even a fitbit that can monitor the BP, pulse and oxygen levels.
Ironically the pacemaker is in to stop my heart from stopping and this was caused by sleep apnoea. Now I am having issues with waking up with headaches and it kind of feels like my heart is stopping for short periods too in the middle of the night, so I don't know if I have developed central sleep apnoea or always had it and it wasn't diagnosed. I usually take an Aspirin, have a hot drink like coffee, put a cold pack on my forehead and then settle back to bed. I need to be able to monitor my BP, and pulse but because I use the public system I could be waiting months to get this sorted. The issue too with the public system is you don't always get the experts in the area, but Dr's training in the area who may be too scared to speak with a consultant when they don't know things. I am already disappointed in our public system because of another situation.
