Hi sheffield

My hubby had one on for 24 hours , now while he had it on he didnt think anything was different with his heart beat as he gets double heart beats , which is nothing serious , but it did pick them up , so they are very sensitive pieces of equipment , they only have them put on for as long as they think you need them ....remember they no what they are doing , it would be more than their job was worth

Try not to worry my love , I no you will maybe , but 24 hours will soon be up , you will take it back , they look at it quickly , in your case they will say its fine & then that will be that

I think you are so brave having it on , I am one of these that worry I have major things wrong , but would have heart faliure if they wanted to do something , how mad is that ???

Thinking about you

By the way , all my hubby has to do is take beta blockers , he doesnt even have 2 if he doesnt want to , as the condition like I say is not dangerous , & you havnt got it as i have been reading your posts & you havnt got the symptoms ....just incase your mind starts

Love

I no what it looks like & made me smile when you said its hanging round your neck , when mu hubby had it on , he just made jokes all the time , if only we could do that , he was joking & I couldnt even look at him with it on , it was upsetting me lol

Think I may need a trip to docs , think I have a BT & cancer today , cant get it out of my mind , so may have to go ...I get fed up of going & i am sure they are fed up of seeing me as well

Yes Trip is missing , we may need 2 put a blog out asking where he is

Donaf is on , I am just going to look at her blog now & see how she is

Try not to worry hun , I no you are going to be alright , you are brave as well , dont forget that

Love

I didn't have it round my neck. I had the sticky pad dead centre of chest and it was attached to it then I hada wire which went down to my side with another sticky pad. When I rang last week they said there was nothing life threateningly urgent n today they said it will take 2 weeks which shows they're not concerned. But these pains are do horrible. Worried a bit too because I'm applying for jobs as a primary school teacher and they look at medical records so I hope all this stuff doesn't effect it xxx

Please don't worry that it won't pick up any problems. Have high bp and at one time it was uncontrolled. I had a monitor for 3 days. F elt perfectly well with no symptoms. On the Fri I returned it to hosp I had a call from GP at 5.50 to say can you get here before 6, your bp is so high You must come in for more meds as I am worried you could have a stroke over the weekend! I don't have health anxiety so was just irritated that I had to drop what I was doing to get there before surgery closed! This is just to illustrate that it will pick up any problems and that if there is anything at all untoward they will get you back straight away!
