Hello JimJam77

Welcome to the forum

Here's a link to the Medtronic ICD website which has a vast amount of information in ICDs:-

asktheicd.com/

There's also a very good Facebook support forum for people with an ICD, which I'd suggest you should join, link below:-

As regards the basic do's and don'ts

You need to rest up for 6 weeks, not use you left arm as much as possible, don't lift anything heavy, don't raise arm about shoulder height. Get plenty of rest, do gentle exercise like walking
