We confuse most machines! When in doubt, ask your doctor, but pacing tends to mess up a lot of monitors.

I have also noticed that the wrist type blood pressure machine is inaccurate since I got my CRT-P. 🤪

Third Machine

I have three blood pressure machines my Oxiline and Citizen are my most recent machines.  Both machines show irregular heartbeats but since my last software update and adjustments, it's a lot better but still will register irregular heartbeats.  I have found the Citizen machine I purchased in Japan is much more accurate.  I have another software update in three weeks be interesting to see those results.

they dont work

machines like these and watches and other stuff dont work.  IMO the light based pulseox one should work but just read someone has one not working on her so.  

Now the one at the grocery store seems to work on me, but the watches and other such things, except for the kardia dont work on me.

I've seen many posts about people being concerned about exercise after having a device so thought I would let you know that yesterday I raced my first marathon since having my pacemaker fitted in fall 2004.
