![]() Everyone, including people who don't have afib, will experience brief runs of tachycardia, PVCs, etc. The cardiologist's eyes and experience are needed.Įdited 1 time(s). It's wise.Įven a professional 12-lead ECG isn't reliable enough to tell you "you have afib" with its automatised interpretation. They all recommend seeing your doc and showing him/her the recordings where something wrong has been detected. I don't think any other single lead portable ECG device on the market would tell you "you're in afib" (mine says "suspected a little fast beat", "suspected slow beat", "irregular beat interval" and things like this). ![]() ![]() This device (I never used one) probably does what it's intended for: telling you if there's something wrong with your HR. Guess I really should consider the ablation.ĭon't be disappointed with your Emay. It's confusing!ĭepressing though to get confirmation that I really am totally screwed up, Can't really argue with 30 days of being clearly messed up. but get the impression that even though I'm out of rhythm my Afib may only last for a few beats in a 30 second read. I'm also disappointed in my Emay monitor, as it tells me I'm in arrhythmia, but not whether it's afib. I'd love to know how long my average Afib last I think it also said my longest afib was 45 minutes, but in the listed events it didn't mention a 45 minute afib event. and that I had 1 critical, 8 serious and a couple dozen other events. My 30 day results said I was in Afib 5% of the time. I' always confused that nobody seems to care that even when I'm not in afib I'm most often out of rhythm. I'm mostly out of rhythm according to my Emay when I check. The 48 hour holter monitor I had after my ER visit said I had PACS 16% of the time. I was surprised that my monitor didn't report anything about PACs. if your heart rate is only high for a couple of beats, does it really matter? [ I just got back results from a 30 day monitor. The sinus max of 136 bpm at 3:24 pm-I have no idea what I was doing at that time - I have a big learning curve. it wasn't like I was skydiving or kissing "Jamie" from Outlander! Seeing the max heart rate of 190 bpm was scary even if it was only for 8 seconds! I was probably sitting and reading a magazine, probably Good Housekeeping or something tame like that, or maybe I was at the grocery store. Should I be worried about the 40 bpm (I was asleep, I thought 40 was too low even when sleeping!) ? ![]() George, yup, I did feel something which is why I pushed the button. ![]() with only one heart and no spares, anything different is NOT a little thing to me. Pompon, Murphy's Law indeed! Two days after I mailed in the Zio, I had a couple of weird episodes and sure wished I had that button to push-but it didn't *feel* like a-fib! They actually told me to not push the button for little things like if I felt PVCs. The details from the Zio results are as follows:Įctopic beat(s), Ventricular Ectopic beat(s) Thanks in advance for any help and input (and handholding)! I still don't know what all this means, and that stresses me, and then I get a bit panicky and then I have anxiety and then. Some of this (below) is really scary to me. Does this mean that it's controlled by metoprolol (and it will be a matter of time b/c A-Fib usually always progresses)? Does "overall" mean that for 13 days and 19 hours, I had no a-fib? The EP emailed me and stated "Overall no atrial fibrillation. Could someone please help and explain this to me before I go looking things up and scaring myself? I got my Zio patch results back and don't understand a lot of it. ![]()
