Help me understand my Holt Monitor results

This is the message from my doctor.

A total of 90 transmissions were sent during the monitoring period. Baseline and predominant rhythm were normal sinus rhythm/sinus bradycardia. Heart rates during transmissions range from 42 to 96 bpm. Rare supra-ventricular Complexes were noted. Patient complained of symptoms of dizziness lightheadedness tiredness weakness habitations slow pulse and skip beats which mainly correlated to periods of sinus bradycardia and complained of chest pain which correlated with sinus tachycardia. In summary your heart was either a little slow or fast.

What are supraventricular complexes?

I’m taking 1/4 pill of atenolol currently.

Atenenol can cause slow heart rate which seems to coincide with your symptoms.Perhaps dose should be adjusted.

Baseline & predominant rythm normal sinus = your heart has a good rythm. Sinus brachycardia - in rythm but a bit slow sometimes.

Rare Supra ventricular complex rhythms - check with your doctor and ask them to explain - but I would interpret that as the occasional ectopic or ‘skipped’ beat

In other words didn’t show up anything irregular and as others noted your meds can cause slow HR so maybe talk about dose?
