Smart Watches and ICD/Pacemakers
Just seen some online articles warning about potential interference but smart watches on
icd
/pacemakers. I haven't been warned about this by any medical staff at any point, only about the usual with mobile phones and scanners at airports etc.

Hi all, I was hoping to get some feedback/advice from ideally ladies who have undergone
ICD

ICD

Sleeping with an ICD device
My partner has been offered an
ICD
device but is uncertain whether to go ahead, he is worried about a few things related to the device, but impact on sleeping with the device is one of them. If you have an implanted device how have you found sleeping since you have had it?

15% Ejection fraction and feel well.
I have been diagnosed with HOCM for 35 years and have an
ICD
. I really can’t believe I feel well and the ef is so low. Does anyone else have such a low measurement and still feel well?

Statins
I ended up with severe EF and now have an
ICD
. Recent blood tests have shown I have a lowered blood platelet. I am booked in with my GP on 15//2 but am concerned what is causing this. I have read it could be Statins. Is there anyone out there with experience of this ?

Impulse Control Disorder on Dopamine Agonists. TV Drama Mr Bates v The Post Office
We have had members on here who have lost homes, marriages, careers and money because of
ICD
. One GP simply told one patient to join Gamblers Anonymous. Enough! It's time to fight back against the ignorance and negligence.

scaring of the heart
I had an
ICD
fitted, this because I had 2 cardiac arrests 🙈. I’ve had many scans and MRI and they found scaring on my heart ❤️ I’ve had genetics blood test to see if this is hereditary. I suffer from really low blood pressure. This can drop as low as 65/44. Normal for me is 101/54.
