Re: Holter Monitor Results
A holter test isn't looking for rapid heart rate as much as it's looking for weird electrical patterns in the heart.
The test itself is pretty standard procedure for anything heart related and if you've already had an ECG (assuming you have if you're having a holter test) it's highly unlikely anything bad will be shown up.

Hi Joe,
Thanks for replying. The results fr the Holter was 141 episodes of tachycardia & 1 ectopic beat for almost 23 hours of wearing it.
Cardiologist had a quick look and didnt seem concerned.
Re: Holter Monitor Results
Hiya,
I had a 24 hour ecg done in September due to ectopic beats and like you was extremely anxious. Apart from a slightly fast heart rate and a couple ectopic beats nothing was found. Funnily enough once my doctor said nothing weird was found, my ectopic beats stopped and haven’t come back since and before the test I was getting them soooooo frequently! Like literally one every 4/5 beats.
Re: Holter Monitor Results
Do you still experience tachycardia now?
