Can I wear/use my Inspire hr while wearing a 10 unit?

Can I use my inspire hr while wearing a tens unit for pain? I need to wear it 8 to 10 hours a day, especially during exercise. Due to the low voltage electrical current being applied to specific parts of my body, I am concerned about tracker accuracy and mostly about possibility of damaging my tracker. Called tech dept but they have no answers as no one else has presented this question. Unit provider isn't sure, but thinks it should be fine because current is applied to specific areas.  No absolute answers. Dont want to destroy my relatively new tracker.  Anyone else incur this situation? Were there any problems?

Hi @Pastfuterart  I've notified a moderator about your post and they should be by to assist you in this matter. I wouldn't think it would present a problem, but you're the one who needs to feel secure in wearing it. My thought would be if wearing it would change your heart rate. Anyway, they will be able to find out more information for you.

Thank you for feedback and reaching out on my behalf. To clarify, wearing
the tens unit does not change my heart rate. Electrical impulses are
localized to points of placement and affect only the nerves to block pain
signals. The unit itself will have no problem with Fitbit inspire hr being
worn. Because I dont understand how the tracker works, my concern is that I
will damage the inspire hr somehow. Tens unit doesn't operate like
electrical impedance scale by sending low voltage through out the body. It
is specific to lead placements ie neck, back, glutes, legs, possibly
shoulder or elbow. I hope this information is helpful.
Thanks again.
