This morning a visit to my cardiologist .
they wanted to put a heart monitor for 14 days.
No swimming.I can take a shower with my back turned.
This is new to me.I remember those ole clunker back in the early days.
This is call Zio XT. this is a small monitor checking out my heart beat.
If I have a fluttering to press the button to get it recorded.
Same a palpitation .This way to check if I have irregular heary rhythm or arrhythmia .Then I mailed to CA/ this is interesting.Why all the way there?
Guess better behave then.
Photo is me showing you the heart monitor.

Wow. I had to wear a Holter monitor for 24 hours and it drove me crazy to not be able to bathe. Hang in there!

@amadeo — if you can not remove it at all you’ll probably become enamored with baby wipes.....

I agree with TheHorse. It must be a pain, but better to have info.

@amadeo Yes I have had those tests as well. I told the quack I don`t have any heart problems and I dared him to work as hard as I do when he told me how weak and frail I was. HA!

Gotta be careful. It's ok to have a heart monitor, better to gather information and to prevent possible problems . As you said, you must behave . Take care, let us know how it's going
