I've been thinking about getting an infrared heating panel, but I'm worried it might mess with my pacemaker because of the electromagnetic field. The company says it actually gives off less electromagnetic static than the sun, so it shouldn't be a problem. Should I be concerned about this?

Infrared heating panels typically emit low levels of electromagnetic fields, which are unlikely to interfere with a pacemaker. However, it is always best to consult with your cardiologist or healthcare provider for personalized advice. If you experience any unusual symptoms or concerns regarding your pacemaker while using the infrared heating panel, please seek medical attention promptly.
