Sorry I am posting this in 2 locations....I didn't know where would be best.
I was put on a cardiac event monitor for palpitations and episodes of tachycardia (which I have had for years, they are just re-checking). I've only ever worn a holtor monitor, not an event monitor.
Anyway, the monitor automatically records if it senses anything unusual, and over the past 5 days, I had 19 events, with me only pressing it about 5 or 6 times. The rest of the events were recorded by the monitor, always during the night...
However, last night alone I had NINE events, and I didn't press any. Here's the thing...I believe my heart rate at night is getting too LOW. At times I wake up almost gasping for air, but my pulse is super low. Why would it be doing this? Is it dangerous??
I am just concerned because my doctor will not be able to read these events until Monday morning.... Any advice would be appreciated!!
