For 30 Days?!

A re you kidding me? LOL Holy cow. I have to wear my holter monitor for 30 freakin' days. It's already a pain in the butt and I haven't even worn it for 24 hours. Sofia sees the little sticky thingy over the top of my chest and she wants to pull it. The cable that connects to the actual monitor hangs out, gets her attention and she tugs at it. NOT good. This is gonna be a pain in the bootie. I get to take it off when I shower but I have to wear it to sleep because I get those heart palpitations at night sometimes. Where it feels like my heart jolts and jump starts. It's so weird. So hard to explain. I have to call in anytime I have the symptoms I get (shortness of breath, dizziness, feeling like I'm gonna pass out, black out, etc.) So... we'll see how it goes! Know something that's crazy? My mother started feeling these symptoms a few weeks ago and had to get a holter monitor too! She only had to wear it for 24 hrs though. Hmmm... She's fine though. They told her it was just stress. Hope they find out what's wrong with me with THIS thing! Blah. It'll be a pain but at least they'll detect something in case it's happening. I think one of my biggest fears is dying from a heart attack! Eeeck!

    That is totally crazy. My father in law wore one for 24 hours on like 3 occasions. They kept wanting to recheck it. He eventually got a pace maker put in. I can't believe they are doing 30 straight days on you! What a pain!

    My ex had similar symptoms and had to wear the hoelter for a few days ... maybe a week. He couldn't take it off when he showered so he took baths & washed up well. That doctor didn't find anything wrong. Eventually, he ended up seeing a specialists & they found his mitral valve needed repair.

    30 days is a really long time. You are in my thoughts.

    30 days..well they better find some answerer as to why you have had this going on for a few years now. A month is a long time to wear that thing. Glad it was just stress with your mom. Have you ever kept a medical diary? Anabelle had the same thing, she would log everything. And took it to her doctor and he said she was stressed and overwhelmed at the times she had these attacks. Maybe you can do that too. I wish you patience with that thing and hope its nothing serious.

    I wore one once or twice for a week or so at a time. They ended up telling me that I was out of shape and needed to tone up. LOL!!

    I did have a heart condition, though that was causing me problems...fainting, blacking out, racing heart, stuff like that. I had a heart abulation to fix the problem and I've been mostly fine ever since!

    I hope the 30 days pass by quickly and they figure out what is going on with you.

    ((((Hugs)))
