I have a pacemaker and I have welded both with stick and mig with no problems.
Its magnetic fields that are the problem. Keep away from the welder itself and
make sure that neither cable passes close to the pacemaker. And wear at least
one rubber/insulated glove especially with stick welding

One of the problems with a pacemaker are warnings re the use of stick or mig
electric welders.
The cardiologists see non-commital on this . Does anyone know of any
protective clothing, e.g. metal or lead apron, that would allow some limited
welding. Any help would be much appreciated as a farmer, I sometimes need to
stick a couple pieces together antil the pros can do it.

Thank you.
