What To Expect While Using a Holter or Event Monitor?

Hello. It is nothing that weird or something like that. At all. You wear it one day and you won’t even notice that you have it. I was wearing holter when I find out that I have arrhytmia and tachycardia as well.  I was wearing it for 24 hours and the results were there next day. It can help you determine a lot of the health issues and to discover how exactly your heart works. It is a little bit uncomfortable because you can't take a shower because of it, but you will do it next day. Good luck there. 

Hello there. But how this can actually help me? This monitor is reading my heartbeats, right? And it writes them down, if I understand well. One thing is that I really don't know and this is - what they will do to expect my heart? How and where they will put that holter, can I sleep with it? I have my training every other day and I really want to continue with it. So can I wear holter at my fitness as well? Please, you have an expereince I can see and please tell me something about ti, more about it. Thank you.

I was using holter as well. I think that almost everyone in here had it. We all do have heart problems and sometimes to determine what exactly is going on, we need to wear holter or event monitor. Don't worry, you can wear it on your fitness and my cardiologist told me that it is recommended to wear it there. It measures your heart rate. You know what the sill thing is? My heartbeats were pretty normal while I did fitness with my girls and it was beating like crazy when I was sleeping. It is really helpful, thanks to it I have my therapy. 

Hi there. You don't have to be afraid of anything. Wearing or using holter or event monitor is not a big deal. It is for your own good. I was only 19 years old when I was using it and I was also very scared because I was thinking that they will do something bad to me. But no, the just put it on my chest and I need to wear this monitor around my neck. I was wearing it for 24 hours and the results were next day. I was diagnosed with tachycardia and cardiologist prescribed propanolol to me. I am still using it.
