I'm happy to report The Holter monitor is off, and boy, does it feel good to be able to move without being pulled by the tape stuck to my chest! (If you're just tuning, check out Part I of my heart monitoring story.)
The report is there's nothing to report! I didn't notice any heart palpitations, but I didn't expect any anyway. I won't know the official report until my physician evaluates the heart tracings, though. If everything checks out OK, then at least I can have peace of mind.
I have to say the worst part about wearing the 24-hour Holter monitor was taking it off! Pulling the electrode stickers and tape off my chest was extremely unpleasant and literally felt like my skin was going to be ripped off along with the tape. I've got"battle scars," red marks showing the location of each sticker and section of tape that were fused to my chest.
In the end, I'm thankful my heart seems to be doing just fine, and I'm glad I went through with the Holter monitor - at least just to rule out any problems.
