I thought it was going to be a halter monitor but its not. I have to wear it for 30 days. It has 2 electrodes and a button I push when I have an episode then I call the office and do a recording. One of the electrodes had come loose yesterday and didn't give a good result so I replaced it this morning after my shower so hopefully today will be better.

This is what 'they' call an 'event' monitor.(don't worry about loosing the one electrode because it is just a back up. They both monitor blood pressure and pulse in different regions. The only time they are different is if there is a blood clot).. It must be more serious that I thought if they want you to wear this. It must have to do with the heart.(please don't try holding your breath to see what happens..lol) I hope that they find out what is causing this and that you can live past this. Good luck my friend.
P.S. If you aren't on a blood thiner then I would ask your doctor about it.(blood thiners protect you against blood clots) just my thoughts.
