Explain Halter Monitor Results

Hi, I am new to this. My PCP can't explain what my result are. My appt isn't for another four months. I just wanted to understand what I was looking at. I understand that this isn't a diagnosis and I should still see a cardiologist.  I suffer from an enlarged heart and pectus exacvatum (worse case)  it's like having a bowl in your chest. My heart lays on the left side of my rib cage. I am not sure if that matters at all. Thanks in advance for any help you might can give. So here goes...

Heart Rates
49 Minimum
84 Average
148 Maximum
12352 beats in tachycardia
338 Beats in bradycardia
1.41 seconds Max R-R

Supraventriculars
6 isolated
1 couplets
0 bigeminal cycles
1 runs totaling 3 beats
3 beats longest run 137 bpm
3 beats fastest run 137 bpm

Ventriculars
18 isolated
0 couplets
0 bigeminal cycles
0 runs totaling 0 beats

General
117632 QRS complexes
18 ventricular beats
11 supraventricular beats
<1% total time classified as noise

Again thank you for any help that you may give.

There are others on here that are  more qualified to give their opinion.  But until they chime in, I don't see anything of a serious nature in the data provided. Your average heart rate is in rhe high normal range, and it looks like about 10% of your beats were considered as tachycardia.  But this could be due to exercise, running, etc.  I don't think the ectopic beats listed are enough to be concerned about.
