Back on the halter monitor again

[hayden]

starting on Wednesday. My heart rate has been going up and down, so we are gonna see what it causing it. I had some major changes about a month post surgery that required a helicopter ride and change of meds. I will let everyone know the results.

Good luck! I've been on a halter probably three times now: Found chronic atrial fibrillation, sometimes accompanied with a hummingbird-like rate of beating, punctuated with episodes of brachycardia. Well, the good news is that I'm here to tell the story.

When I was having my "racing heart" episodes they had me wear a 24 hour halter at least 5 or 6 times. Of course, my heart would know it was there and behave itself. I finally told them that if I didn't have such a reaction to the sticky probes (broke me out every time--looked like an octopus had grabbed me) I would wear one 24/7 to keep my heart in line . Hope they can pinpoint the cause and get you back on track.

May God Bless,

Danny

That's always the way isn't it? And toothaches go away when you're at the dentist also

Hayden, I wish you well and they find what is causing it. I am a "constant afib" person myself who has decided not to treat with meds (other than an increased coumadin range) because I notice it so rarely. I am lucky, tho.

Hayden - a heck of a way to get a ride in a helicopter, isn't it. My prayers are yours. Please keep us posted. Blessins...
