CountryCletus Posted July 15, 2014 Share Posted July 15, 2014 Has anyone had to wear an "event monitor" to record abnormalities with heart function? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BillsFanM.D. Posted July 15, 2014 Share Posted July 15, 2014 I've ordered many. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chef Jim Posted July 15, 2014 Share Posted July 15, 2014 Yup. Had about a thousand of irregular beats in a 24 hour period. I was diagnosed with PVC's (premature ventricular contractions). Luckily for me their pretty much a non-issue. They gave me some beta blockers that did nothing so I stopped taking them. Reducing alcohol consumption really helped though.

DC Tom Posted July 15, 2014 Share Posted July 15, 2014 No, but I've walked up behind and shouted "BOO!!!" at plenty of people wearing them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CountryCletus Posted July 15, 2014 Author Share Posted July 15, 2014 I've ordered many. Enlighten me... I'm wearing one now... I have been told very little about it, and when I call in my "events" they are very ambiguous with me about them... Yup. Had about a thousand of irregular beats in a 24 hour period. I was diagnosed with PVC's (premature ventricular contractions). Luckily for me their pretty much a non-issue. They gave me some beta blockers that did nothing so I stopped taking them. Reducing alcohol consumption really helped though. I've been having issues and Friday I went to the ER... They said they detected an arrhythmia and I was experiencing PVC's as well... Now I have this thing strapped on me and a stress test scheduled... Doc told me that I was probably fine but should probably keep someone around... That's swell, my wife is away 2 weeks for the military... They are all about sending her home, but we will see how that goes down.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BringBackFergy Posted July 15, 2014 Share Posted July 15, 2014 I had an SVT episode a few years back (heart beat went to 220 beats per second for an hour or so)...after it went to normal the doc put me on a monitor, then had ablation procedure to zap the nerve and all's well.

Painful? I always figured I would be 60-70 before heart issues... Damn, I'm only 32 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm now 53 with nothing to worry about. My doctors over the year look at it pretty much as an a non-issues as I mentioned and it's more of an annoyance than anything.
