Just a quick note to say hi! Hi, the monitors went well and all said my heart was fine, I still get those scary PSVT's, but, I guess they will always be with me, I am thankful they are not as bad as some folks are. How are you doing?

No, no a-fib, but, it is a fear of mine that I will get it later.
I will let you know how the monitor goes after it is over.
Take care.
No, no meds, they are not that bad, but, the few I have are scary. A loop monitor is different from a holter, the holter goes for 24 hours, the loop, goes from a week to a month, depending on what the doc orders. You press a button when you feel something, then, when there are about 10 events, you call it in, then, clear it and start over. You put the little machine over the mouthpiece of the phone and it takes 20 minutes for it to get transmitted. I will be glad to start it and get it over with.
Just a quick note to say hi!They are ruining my life too, they scare me.
I live in Washington state, about 75 miles east of Seattle. It gets really cold here.
