Yes, you should be able to do all your normal activities. Just remember any excessive sweating continuously may cause it to peel off. Also, limit how much time you spend in the shower with it on. This was the advice given to me by my cardiologist.
Ask for some spare sticky pads aka electrodes, the cardiac nurse gave me a ton when I had my last 7 day holter, need to disconnect it when you shower though!
Hi, if it is an event monitor then you would have been told how to use it. You press it if you have an event. If it is an ordinary holter monitor then it continually monitors and records your heart. Take it off when bsthing or showering.
