pacemaker and electric heat pads
I have a Medtronic
pacemaker
and , currently a bad back. Bought an electric heat pad today from Argos (Dreamland Intelliheat) and although there’s nothing on the outside of the box the instruction leaflet inside says it’s not to be used if you have a
pacemaker
.

It’s been with me now for several years and still is, despite two ablations, a
pacemaker
and drug regime. I’m facing up to the challenge of embracing it rather than getting rid of it! Recent episode lasted 5 days and just before a family holiday to Croatia. Wondering whether to go.

update to the return of AF/tachycardia and long talk with EP
Pacemaker
leads couldn’t be inserted in usual side due to shoulder injury and crushed veins so abandoned. New EP said he would attempt another ablation. In the event had 2 but no more possible due to extensive scarring.

anyone heard of long p wave
had my
pacemaker
in on Friday. Still in hospital with New med trial is bisoprolol, flecainide, amlodipine, xarelto. They say the flecainide is causing long p wave- I was taken off of flecainide in 2019 , but I thought it was for long qt wave.

Ablation for atrial flutter - advice?
(I had a
pacemaker
fitted for sinus node dysfunction in September 2021; all very rushed and unplanned, and I'm also - relatively, for the condition - young, early 40s.)

hi all it’s been over 12 months since my uncle had his surgery, does anyone still get odd pains where the
pacemaker
is located like sharpness. He does have a Hiatus hernia as well which don’t help. He’s had X-rays and nothing is wrong.

Can My Pacemaker Stop an AF Episode?
I've had my
pacemaker
for six years, to prevent low heart beat caused by the high bb dose I'm on. It's checked at the PM clinic every year. I went there yesterday. I've been having a lot of AF and have been referred back to Cardio.

Unexpected reason for gp appointment
happened after having a
pacemaker
, basically I woke up in the early hours with heart attack symptoms , I’d had a lead go through my heart wall , I needed both leads replaced just a week after having my
pacemaker
then that led to a severe heart infection that had got to a life threatening stage and

Sudden increase in AF
I have a 2 lead
pacemaker
(11 years ago). I was diagnosed with AF 4 years ago (I am now 78) and was on 150mg fleainide which worked well. Last December I had an attach of AF which caused me to lie down.

Specialty to start with?
I can't have an MRI due to
pacemaker
. I saw TA's comment the other day about having a CT-scan/bone scan before a biopsy and it got me to thinking that maybe I should have started off with a RO from the very beginning.

Unable to obtain MRI either NHS or through
In my case I had a permanent
pacemaker
and that comes straight into into your mind. I had
pacemaker
after year 2000 and that was definitely safe as it was MRI compatible.

Second opinion
Hi, I asked for a second opinion with another cardiologist following ongoing symptoms since my ablation carried out a year ago which ended up with me having a
pacemaker
fitted due to AV node ablation.
