Assuming it's all for your head.

I wouldn't rub the machines directly on the pacemaker area. Maybe hold the electrical wires a bit away also.

I have issues with the hair dyer but the clippers do not cause any problems for me. I love the hair vac he uses on my head - very relaxing.

Bankkok? wow I'll be in Japan next week same hemishere

I can't see issues w ith t hem but as above keep away from your pacemaker with t he leads and such, also you can email medtronic they are really good on questions like this, I work in a shipyard with no problems but its just being aware of surroundings!
Best of luck,

You know you're wired when...

You prefer rechargeable batteries.

I'm 35 and got my pacemaker a little over a year ago. It definitely is not a burden to me. In fact, I have more energy (which my husband enjoys), can do more things with my kids and have weight because of having the energy.
