5G

Does anyone have any information about this new 5G telecommunications thingy that is being/has been rolled out as far as the EMF affecting older pacemakers?

Not trying to get anyone worked up, I'm just not knowledgable about it in the least.

I've had a quick google and can only find negative information about health effects but nothing about pacemakers.

My pacemaker is about three years old but my leads are from 2008.

Thank you for any information, good or bad.  lol

Wrong frequency

5G won't bother your pacemaker in any way.  It's the wrong frequency and nowhere near powerful enough to bother your pacemaker.  

Currently some of the frequencies in that range are being used by TV stations for broadcasting and you aren't being affected now so you won't be affected after the changes are made.  
 

it's fine

My leads are a whole lot older than yours. We have it here now and I haven't noticed anything except faster internet. Check the source when you see the negative info on 5G, I don't think a lot of it is fact based.

already...

You know you're wired when...

You need to be re-booted each morning.

I have a well tuned pacer. I hardly know I have it. I am 76 year old, hike and camp alone in the desert. I have more energy than I have had in a long time. The only problem is my wife wants to have a knob installed so she can turn the pacer down.
