I just got my first pacemaker two weeks ago. I asked a person in the doctor's office how it is monitored. They ordered a device that I set on my night stand that communicates with the pacemaker every night while I sleep. The problem is that this thing needs to be connected to an old school analog phone line. I haven't had access to one of them in years. And of course, when we are on the road, it'd be difficult to do this.
I also see "hints" that being too close to the engine of an RV can cause problems with the pacemaker's signals to the heart. I'm in a Fleetwood Pace Arrow with ford F53 chassis. Does anyone have experience with that?
How have other people dealt with this? I can't believe that I'm breaking new ground here. My device is a Biotronik two chamber pacemaker.
Thanks for any info people can provide, Bill
