holter monitor

[boredom]

Had a holter monitor test and am waiting on the results it was for 48 hours one over a week ago phoned hospital and asked if they had the results and was told they hadn,t made out the letter today. Said she would leave a note on Drs desk but if there was anything wrong they would have been in touch before now freaking out have panic disorder and would like to know does this mean there is nothing to worry about. Looking for reasassunce spelling. Test result for blood test came back as acceptable does this mean its ok.

Dear You

Oh the horror of anxiety has reared its ugly head once more with you and with its powers has distorted the meanings of a few { not very well placed } words.

None of what you have written about in your post indicates that there is a problem looming, in fact far from it.

Your bloods are acceptable { I presume this is from your Dr } which means that your results fall into a band that is acceptable for a woman of your age/medication taking and health situation.

Your results came back faster than most for your Holter monitoring , again they would have said if the results needed further investigations because that is what the monitor results will call for if needed, no-one { as far as I know } are just diagnosed on its readings, its just a step in their vast arsenal of tests.

I know your main concerns are with your Heart and yet anxiety rules everyone of your posts, why don't you post on the anxiety forum as well and maybe get other sufferers views on how they manage their illnesses with anxiety hanging over them.

Take care, if I could take your worry away from you I would, but I can't even do that for my dear sister who is a life time sufferer of it.

Thank you so much for your reply I once told my pyschairist if i wish i had a switch at the back of my head then i could turn it off. I must stop with the negative thoughts and start to think positive it exactly a year ago today since it happened perhaps thats what freaking me out.

Yes and in the big scheme of things a year is no time at all,

my heart { damaged as it is } goes out to you

This site and all the lovely people on it has have been so kind and supportive in the last year. My OH half says i worry over worrying and no one else I can talk to going to Mental Health in May will have a word with them. Just being silly I know just hard to get past it.

Please try and keep calm and not worry as your aniexty will only make you feel worse. Cardiology Units are under pressure post-covid.

I had my 48hr monitor 2 months before the appointment & they hadn't been able to review the results for the consultant for that.

Hi I'm still waiting for my holter results done on 10th March from St Thomas's hospital.Not sure if they have even been looked at.E mailed my arrhythmia nurse and she said she would chase it but she was going on her annual leave .Said I could ring the other nurses and that's what I will do next week.

Did not know it could take so long no information given at the time as to when I would hear anything just have to wait and stop worrying.

it can take weeks or months to get cardiology results back. (Five months for an echo for me). Hopefully if there’s something urgent they’ll contact you sooner. I would phone the secretary every couple of weeks until you hear something.
