#QandA answers Disclaimer: if you're someone with a pacemaker, please note, you should always talk to YOUR #Electrophysiologist and #Cardiologist before making any changes to your lifestyle. Q: can you lift weights with a pacemaker? A: Not immediately after placement. You need to wait 3 - 6 months before any serious lifting, to ensure that the leads heal in place. Pulling out a lead would be a BIG problem. Also, pacemaker placement is #surgery, so you need to heal up completely. Some patients maintain their lifting restrictions to 10lbs. Some do #crossfit . It's really all about what works best for you and your body. #CyborgDuck #TeamBatteriesNotIncluded #Pacemaker #BatteryPowered #ManMadeAndBatteryOperated #AVSD #ASD #VSD #dacron #OHS #CHD #MedicalDevice #Medtronic #ChronicIllness #ChronicGrrrrls #100PercentPaced #WiredForLife #BreatheDucky #QandA #AskMeQuestions #Questions #Answers #weights #weightlifting #excercise
