Event monitors???

[Guest guest]

Does anyone have experience with event monitors? I am using the

wristwatch kind but it doesn't seem to be picking up the heart

" flutters " and the phone contact won't tell me much of anything. I

am

wondering if this thing actually works well. Do I have one that

isn't

working? These people are charging $600+ for this little gadget and

I

don't believe it will help document rare and possibly dangerous

events

if it doesn't even catch more common palpitations.

The last thing I need is more negative tests, especially when this

cardio doesn't even believe I have LD. He insisted that I repeat

the echocardiogram; said my previous one was doubtful; came up with

normal this time. Great, more contradictory tests. Why did my lyme

doc send me to a non-believer? But then, he is a pretty obnoxious

guy

all around (the cardio). He took 2 phone calls while with me: one

from a patient of his who was flying back from Europe with chest

pains; the other from his wife. He was not very nice to either one.
