A 30 day monitor is often used to catch these events. It's a very simple device, 2 leads with electrodes that are replaced daily by the user. You wear it 24/7 except for showering and bathing. You can wear it running, working out, you name it. Those pads stick good. Cardiac anomalies are recorded and stored in memory which when full is uploaded by phone to a monitoring lab. This method is how most of us have caught our particular problem.
Hello itdood, thank you.
I think it will be very hard to catch it on an ECG. I had 2 ECGs last year and a stress test, the only thing they caught was a single PAC. And yesterday I tried to induce the same thing again by doing some exercise and was not successfull. Only had a couple of PVCs in the next minutes. I'm becoming a little mad about PVCs / PACs or any other kind of arrhythmia. My PVCs have a weird pattern, they disappear for 15 days or more, then come back for one week and disappear again. Now they are positional PVCs, I can stop them by laying down on bed and reduce them by sitting. When I stand up or walk, they start kicking again. I understand most of PVCs are not dangerous but I wish I could understand this weird pattern of ON / OFF PVCs. You have any clue?
Could have been either PACs, or ventricular couplets, triplets, or NSVT. Not to sound mean, but good luck trying to guess. Need to catch it on an EKG?
Well after looking online for a few minutes, I found that the closest thing to what I felt is sinus arrhythmia, but the difference is that I felt it for a few beats only, and I think synus arrhytmia is a kind of "chronical" condition.
