Yesterday they removed my Holter but it had seven electrodes. Funny thing is whenever they put Holter on me my heart starts behaving like a good child and nothing significant is recorded but when it is not there i have severe palpitations.

omg this brought back the holter monitor experiences! Literally my skin under the electrode welted up and left scars and I was horrified lol. I’d say always ask if they have electrodes for sensitive skin or with different glue/adhesive on. Save the skin! Xx

Cameo Gonzales not everywhere has alternatives but it’s always worth the ask, especially if you’re having the monitor on for longer than a few weeks. Also when you remove the monitor each day, try and air it out, use a small bit of body lotion(medical grade if you have it) just to keep it hydrated and I even moved the electrode placement slightly each day to give my skin a break xx

Just leaving a comment for anyone in the US (from my experience) My holter monitor was a lot bigger, yours is so tiny Amy! And instead of clipping to my pants, it was sort of in a satchel that went across my chest. Also I didn’t have to press record whenever I experienced symptoms, the monitor constantly recorded and I just wrote down my symptoms as they happened so the doctor could match them up with the recording. Thank you for making this video Amy, it’s super helpful. Sending you love and spoons!!
@amyleefisher52 6 жыл бұрын
Colleen Elizabeth yeah usually the monitors that I’ve had in the past have been satchels and my monitor does record continuously, just pressing the button just flags up the moment your having symptoms, just so it’s easier for the doctors to match up the information x

Whoa, they've gotten way better/smaller/smarter since I had one (like 15 years ago). Mine was the size of a walkman and I had to call it in every night and hold it up to the phone while it played a squeaky modem version of my episodes for the day. Although it looks like leads haven't improved much. I looked like I lost a battle with an octopus for a month because I got gross raw dermatitis on/around all of them. Hope you get it sorted! (Mine was a funky med reaction that made me tachy all the time. Curse you, Advair!)

I just got my halter monitor today and this has made me understand a lot more about it. My doctor didn’t tell me much about it. I’m worried that the monitor isn’t going to catch anything because I get really fast heart rate out of nowhere sometimes and I get chest pains and uncomfortableness in my chest too I also get heart palpitations a lot as well and because it happens so randomly there’s just some days where it barely happens or some days where I get it bad. My gp thinks it could be arrhythmia, but she suggested to get this halter monitor just to see just in case. So thank you for this video :)
