Fitness monitors

Hello all,

I have seen several posts in regards to heart rate monitors not working properly due to having a pacemaker. I was wondering if anyone with a pacemaker has used the fit bit monitor that tracks, steps, sleep etc. ?

Thanks,
Caryn

I love my Scosche

I use the Scosche you can get them at 24hr fitness or even on line and i love it. I use the iphone app Digifit and they are Fantastic and work 100% . And you can save your info on the app and show your Dr if anything looks bad or worries you

Great name!

I use a Fit Bit and I have an ICD and have had no problems with it. Like you said, it does track steps, calories burned, stairs, miles and sleep. I like mine alot. I don't use it all the time for sleep but it noted for me that I do wake often during the night (which I already knew)...hip issues. I find it's fun to use and makes you challenge yourself! I actually won mine...which was pretty cool.

I also use a Polar Heart Rate monitor as the Fit Bit does not track HR.

Let me know how you like it if you do decide to get one.

At age 20, I will be getting a pacemaker in few weeks along with an SA node ablation. This opportunity may change a five year prognosis into a normal life span! I look forward to being a little old lady with a wicked cane!
