Can tens unit cause heart attack?

I was so scared of using this machine for my shoulder, I almost skipped my post-physio butter chicken craving! Thankfully, my doctor told me it won't cause a heart attack as long as you keep it far away from your chest area. Just use it safely on limbs and relax!

I have been using a TENS unit for my arthritis for five years now. It is perfectly safe and won't cause any heart attack if you follow the basic rules. Just make sure the pads are placed on the joints or back, and never near the heart or on the front of the neck. Stay safe!

Look, if used correctly, a TENS unit is very safe and won't cause cardiac issues. However, if you have an existing heart condition, a pacemaker, or place the pads across your chest, it can pose serious risks. Always read the safety manual or ask your doctor before doing self-therapy at home.

Buying a TENS machine online is a cheap way to handle pain compared to expensive daily physio visits which cost 500 Rs per day. But don't risk your health by placing it near your chest. If you feel any chest pain, don't ignore it to save clinic fees—go straight to a doctor immediately.
