Is it safe for heart patients to use TENS machine?

Hey there Eric.

Palpitations is when your heart beat is becoming faster and usually it is thumping in your chest and it is totally different feeling than you had before. Most people get them, just to be precise, from time to time. Usually it happens when you are siting, resting or when you are having drink that have caffeine in it.

Maybe they are very rare, but if you need to do ECG it is totally ok to use TENS machine. I know some people who had experience with it and they are satisfied.

No problems and no side – effects.

Hello everyone.

Well, according to the experts and a lot of different people that I know, every one of them consider that TENS is safe, even if the machine could cause harm if misused. You need to tell your physical therapist or doctor to show you what the proper way to use this machine is.

When they show you, you need to follow very carefully those instructions. In that way, using this machine is more than safe so there is no need for you to be worried.

If you have any other questions, feel free to ask.

Have a nice day!

Hey guys. I was using TENS machine and I can tell that is pretty much safe. One day I was really scared because I was thinking that this machine is not working properly and of course – it was my fault, because I didn’t want to ask anyone how to use it. I was thinking that I am the smartest guy at the planet. My advice is that you need to tell your doctor always that you don’t know to use it. Let him explain you. Also, if you are using some alternative therapy you need to tell him this as well because maybe it is not safe to use this treatment while you are using something other.

Hello everyone. Yes, it is totally safe. There are just a few things that can go wrong, but basically that is nothing serious. Like others told you, all you need to do is to find someone who is going to explain you how to use it and what is the best way to use it. The truth is that the problem can occur if you don’t use it. I know a couple of them who never wanted to ask anyone about advice. That is a mistake. My friend is using TENS machine for a while now and she found it very helpful. The only problem that she had was because she was not able to understand her progress. But she found the way :)
