Are induction cooktops safe for afibbers? Sorry if I sound silly, but I am thinking of getting an induction cooktop, and just read to be careful if you have a pacemaker. I don't have a pacemaker, but I am wondering if induction could trigger an afib episode. After all afib is an electro-physical disease. I guess my question is: does anyone here cook with induction without problems?

I came across this, and then I extrapolated 😀

Good to know so i can avoid, although I prefer a gas stovetop. Doesn’t induction stove tops have the possibility of cracks? Having a nuked AV node my pacemaker is working 99.99%…how did they come up to that number if I’m pacemaker dependent Because it should be 10O% Anyways I try to avoid a wand or machines

My concern is at the airport. They make me wait for a female to hand grope me because I won’t go through the machines with a pacemaker that beats each of my beats. So instead they have me waiting really close to the X-ray machine for upwards of an hour. I don’t like being so close to the machine’s radiation because they insists I stand against the machine waiting so there isn’t a bottleneck of being in someone’s way. If you end up with a PM, bring your PM card with you. They once interrogated me by asking for the model number, model name date of implant and dr name.. I avoid the pat down.]]> susan.d GENERAL HEALTH FORUM Mon, 20 Feb 2023 08:45:13 +0000 https://www.afibbers.org/forum/read.php?10,189402,189547#msg-189547 Re: Are induction cooktops safe for afibbers? https://www.afibbers.org/forum/read.php?10,189402,189547#msg-189547 PavanPharter GENERAL HEALTH FORUM Thu, 16 Feb 2023 16:07:54 +0000 https://www.afibbers.org/forum/read.php?10,189402,189424#msg-189424 Re: Are induction cooktops safe for afibbers? https://www.afibbers.org/forum/read.php?10,189402,189424#msg-189424
