E-Stim and pacemaker - NO!

Well I have just been fitted with a cardiac pacmaker and feel I am safer avoiding e stim now. Has anyone any definite views on this?

Yes. refrain from using any form of E-Stim or TENS. There have been cases in the medical literature where TENS units have caused inadvertent triggering of an 'on demand' type implanted pacemaker. I'm not saying its going to kill you if you disrupt it, (there have been cases of mobile phones in close proximity causing similar issues) but it is a known increased risk factor.

All commercial E-Stim manufacturers (and I am one) carry similar warnings on their products for that reason.

DO NOT USE E-STIM IF YOU HAVE A PACEMAKER. PERIOD.

Good to know

Further, stay away from a Violet Wand. They emit an electromagnetic field that can screw up your pacemaker from a distance.
