Holter Monitor

[Weeniedoglady]

So I'm strapped up like a Bionic woman today with a 48 hour holter monitor to try to see what's causing (as if I don't know!!) My heart palpitations. I'm avoiding people because it's not the most conspicuous looking thing and I don't want all the questions. My doctor is very confident that there's nothing wrong with my heart but decided it would be good to do this for my peace of mind. I've read a few posts on here of people who have also done this... It's interesting that anxiety causes the palpitations and yet the docs say it's normal. I hate them, sometimes they actually trigger a panic attack!

I'm going to try to take it easy on myself today and get lots of dog cuddles. I hope everyone else has an anxiety -free day today 😊

That sounds like a good plan! Wishing you well today! P.s. love your name. I have a weenie dog too. 😁

Aw yes weiner dogs truly are the best breed! Frank brings so much joy and laughter into my life 😊

I have had a few different breeds over the years but Phillip is my first Dachshund. He sure is lovey and cuddly. No complaints from me either! Wishing you and Frank a good weekend!

I’ve did the holter monitor for 24hours and the cardiogolist told me my heart is strong although it shows that I have some palpitations in the record. She told me it’s due anxious mind, caffeine and things that can stimulate heart rate. But I’m still getting anxious about my heart although I know it is good 😢
