post ICD exercise

[JackRusselllsrule]

May seem a silly question but still need to exercise with ICD implanted, so can you still do press-ups or does that present danger you may dislodge/disturb the device ?

you should have been given an exercise advice guide post ICD being implanted - my husband received an after care booklet

Depending how recently you had yours implanted will then determine what you should and should not be doing

The best and most accurate information will come from your ICD contact team

Thank you, never got one but will ask.

That’s a shame you didn’t but I would use them as first advice for exercise etc best wishes

Hi. After 7 years with an ICD the one recommendation I would make is try to forget it is there and live life to as full as your condition allows. Of course wait until everything has healed and remember avoid airport security and magnetic fields. If you have any worries contact your cardiology department they will help guide you.
