My (3-week-old) Pacemaker's User Manual warns specifically of lingering or working around sources of EMI, to the point of advising patients to move quickly through the automatic doors of the supermarket. I believe its interference with your rhythms is a transient thing, but I'm surprised your doctor isn't aware of this.

I've read my PM manual, too, and I've been careful ever since. I was just surprised that how strong the overall EMI can be at Best Buy. And don't think that I was hugging the TVs, he he he!

As for my doctor, she gave me the same instructions found in the PM manual. That's why I think she doesn't understand or believe me. I have an appointment next week, and I've taken notes in my diary about this. I'll see from there.

I'm just curious to know if anybody else has experienced this?
