Today I started the r test 3 the ecg machine is driving me nuts already an alarm keeps going off. This is because the cardiologist set a low and high heart rate atm mines low with high spikes but it's going below what the rates are set at it goes off if your heart rate stays to high or low for set amount of time, it's driving me nuts and I've got to wear it until Tuesday.

No it's an alarm that goes off when there's an issue with the heart as in too low or high it goes off until you heart slows down or goes faster so if stays on too long you call 999 luckily mine changes all the time . Mines been going off every hour day and night, it's being removed Tuesday so just got make it till then. I didn't get any sleep last night due to the alarm every hour lol.
