First of all, I just went through an EKG, Echocardiagram, and a Stress test about a little over a month ago. I had to wear a heart monitor for a month also to see if they could catch any rhythm issues that might cause me to have a rapid heartrate at times. I just got those results a little over a week ago. I was told that all of the tests above came back great, and that I had a strong healthy heart. I was also told that I didn't have any problems with the rhythm of my heart, but that I had something called sinus tachycardia where my rhythm is normal but my heart just beats a little faster than normal. My heart doctor said it was not life threatening or anything.
Anyway, I bought a new blood pressure monitor yesterday.. one of those Omron ones that also detects irregular heartbeats. I took a few measurements yesterday and a few today. It detected irregular heartbeat only once for those readings. This brings me to my question...
Can regular sinus tachycardia (my problem described above) cause my bp monitor to register irregular heartbeat?
This is just something else for me to worry and obsess over.. thanks in advance for any help with this question!
