Dumb question but is there any danger from an electric blanket/throw/pad in causing/triggering any type of arrhythmia/irregular heartbeat/afib? The internet is not of any help to me here for some reason.

There was discussion about electrosensitivity being a trigger 14 or 15 years ago, when I first joined this site. For most people, Carey's answer is probably correct. However, from what was posted then, there do appear to be people who do have a sensitivity association with various electronics.

I do not sleep on a Electric Blanket. I use a Tens Unit during the day for temporary help with chronic back issues in my lower Thoracic and Lumbar. Major Wreck in 2003. Had a T11- L1 Thoracic Anterior Corpectomy in Early 2006.Quote

Smackman, your back pain goes away when you sleep on an A/C electric blanket?
Look up Tens Unit.

Almost all electric blankets are DC, (low voltage direct current), not 115 volt AC, (alternating current).
