Since my thumb surgery my heart has been weird, especially if I drink caffeine.  So the GP put in for me to have a wearable ECG machine from Monday to Thursday, to see what’s going on? Will i be advised to drink caffeine? Exercise like my physio while wearing it? I’m not honestly sure yet. Apparently I can drink it if I want to see if anything happens, or not if I rather. Same with physio. I’m allowed to carry on as usual.

I checked in, and I barely sat down as I’m being called in to the ecg room. She explains I have it for 72hrs, I cant get it wet, ie have a shower, bath etc… and where it will be fitted.  And how to work it, you can only see the clock on it, not the heart reading.

I have to press a button, and write down on the form when I’m experiencing the palpitations and what I was doing and the time. It was fitted within minutes.

I obviously have to wear overnight as well, so it can continously monitor.

I return it on the 26th June, and apparently I should hear something in 5 weeks time.
