So I have been wearing my Charge 2 for a couple of years and now I have friends that tell me that their Doctors have told them to stop wearing their Fitbit because of the pulsing that it gives off.  Is there any truth to this.  In the meantime, I have sent questions to my Cardiologists in Boston to get their take on this.  I have had two open heart surgeries and I have a pacemaker.

@Kevidona Welcome to the Fitbit Community! I hope you're doing well! Let me share with you that using a Fitbit tracker will not interfere in any way with your pacemaker. Fitbit has tested their products and they are very safe to use. What I recommend is to consult with your cardiologist (which you already have), so he/she can also advise you in this matter.

 

Let me know how it goes!

Kevidona, what did your cardiologist say? I’m in the same boat as you and also curious about it. I guess it may depend on your pacemaker model...?
