Anyone Ever Wear a Holter Monitor?
I'm having those damned near-fainting things and dizziness again, and Meniere's has been ruled out since it doesn't last months like this does. So now I get to wear a Holter monitor sometime next week. Can I wear a bra with it, or will I be extra bouncy for 24 hours?

My previous echocardiograms and EKGs have shown my heart to be about my only okay organ, so I don't really expect anything from the Holter expect a rash from the adhesive.

1. My dear REP...
I have worn them, more than once.....

You will have no problem with wearing a bra....normal clothes are fine...

No extra bouncy for you!

You will not, however, be able to shower....unless they have figured out a way since I wore mine.

Spot washing is OK, though....

And I don't remember having a rash from the electrodes, so you shouldn't have any problem there unless you have very sensitive skin.

Good luck and I hope they find out what the matter is!

:hi:

2. I Have Freaky Sensitive Skin
But at least I won't bounce (or let's be real - my knees won't bruise 'em). Thanks for the info!

I have the feeling it's like a lot of the other things I have - annoying but not very fatal.
