Today is the second aneu-versary of my SAH.  I had mine (Age 55) while at work at a customer site doing a powerpoint presentation, 2 hours away from home.  I kept saying I was fine (my stubborn pride) as I was slurring my words and holding my head laying on the floor.  Thankfully, they knew something was wrong and called 911.  The small local (rural) hospital did a scan and knew it was a ruptured aneurysm but had no neurosurgeons on staff.  They sent me to a major hospital 30 mins away.  They quickly drilled a hole in my head to relieve the pressure and scheduled surgery for the next day as it was a more rare Fusiform type that they had to plan for.  They ended up coiling it versus open surgery, which worked.  I was there for 5 weeks as I had various issues with Vasospasm, Hydrocephalus, etc.  and they eventually put in a shunt.  I went thru Rehab and recovered fully with normal walking, talking and memory, etc.  My wife/family and friends were very supportive in my recovery and I returned to work after 3 months.  One of the most satisfying things was when I went back for the 6 month follow-up and the neurosurgeon complimented me on the recovery and was calling other doctors and nurses in to "show me off" walking around with no issues, etc. He wrote in my report "The patient returns for follow-up.  He has made a miraculous recovery".  I am blessed and happy to be alive/recovered when I know that many people, unfortunately, don't survive this terrible medical event.

I have had an induction hob for many years and a coiled aneurysm.   Coiling is carried out using Platinum which isn't magnetic.   You're able to go into a MRI/MRA scanner with Platinum coils and these scanners have extremely powerful magnets that produce the images for the brain/blood vessels/arteries etc. I've had many of these scans post coiling and all okay.   I wouldn't worry about an induction hob causing you any problems. If you can go into a MRI/MRA scanner with all of it's magnetic power, you'll honestly be fine. x   https://www.brainandspine.org.uk/health-information/fact-sheets/coiling-of-brain-aneurysms/#:~:text=The coils are made of,several coils will be used.                

I  hope  this helps   Induction hobs and pacemaker risk - BHF   Pacemakers are small electrical devices that regulate electrical activity in the heart. Anything that produces a strong electromagnetic field can interfere with a pacemaker. Induction hobs do generate electromagnetic fields, so keep a distance of at least 60cm (2ft) between the stovetop and your pacemaker. Most people should be able to use a hob if they follow these precautions, but if you are choosing a new cooker, it may be easier to pick one that is not an induction hob.   source--BRITIH HEART FOUNDATION---HEART MATTERS/MEDICAL

Someone else may reply to your query in time so please keep checking back.

Thanks for replying. I did ask 2 doctors. One said no research done , the other said it's fine. Just thought I would put it out there to hear if anyone has induction.  Thanks
