@lcr35 It's great to read the stories of people who practice activities they like to do even after a medical situation takes place! We cannot give advice about your question other than to ask the professionals involved in the installation and care of your pacemaker. We are all different, what is safe for one person may be off limits for another. I encourage you to ask!

@walkinggirl Thanks for your reply. Supposedly, this second pacer is better equipped for those activities. HOWEVER.........one of the cardiac nurses called and said best I refrain. But I'm in a jam because I don't want to lose the definition I've redeveloped but I don't want to end up in the hospital. In the past, the electrophysiologists said pushups are fine, but the nurse said if my chest is expanding, that could be a concern. I know the safest thing to do is to never hit the speedbag or do pushups, but I enjoy doing those activities and it's good for my mental health, too.
