I've been diagnosed with pvcs recently. I have bi-geminis right after my excercise routine and after i have my coffee or tea.

Should i get a holter monitor?

Hello :-)

I would talk with my Doctor tell them exactly how I feel and what is happening and ask if they feel you need to have one

I am sure if they think you do they will arrange for one :-) x

If your cardiologist has requested it then do it. It’s non invasive just a little annoying to wear and provides information for the cardiologist.

Dear unonymous-one

Sorry to hear of your diagnosis and the worry it must be causing you.

As for the monitor they can be annoying to wear but the information gathered by them will help your team understand your problems at a deeper level [ that is of course if it shows up any anomalies ]

Only your team/Dr can tell you if you would benefit from using one.

I hope that you get all the answers you need for a plan of treatment to be made for you.

Take care

If its offered ,have it, sadly I now have been waiting 3 months for my results! They said when they get time they will call me ! I have AF and moderate MVR and bigemy
