although i have thought about getting one my self as my heart seems to be my main anxiety even though ive had all the tests!
and yeah what is STV? or should i not ask? lol might think i have it if ya tell me!

But why would you want to?
I bought a Omron b/p monitor to keep an eye on my grown up children's blood pressure (their dad died of a heart attack when he was young)
I perhaps take it every few months but I know what to look for.
SVT = supraventricular tachycardia
It's a particular type of tachycardia (fast heartbeat). It's pretty technical, probably useful for cardiologists but a bit impenetrable for everyone else.

Which is also the case, I believe, with home ECG machines. You really have to know your stuff for them to be of any use at all. And you'd worry yourself silly trying to interpret the results.
I was tempted to get a home blood pressure kit as I have consistently highish readings at the doctor's. But I'm always really nervous at the time so that's probably all it is. I'd just get obsessive about it if I got one.
I dont even google so the chance of me buying any machine is zero and anyone else that buys one is just asking for trouble.
Where do you stop?
Bp testers
eye testers
cat scans
Please get a life and spend the money on a holiday.
If that sounds cruel so be it but it will only make a person worse.
spend the money on cbt, hypnotherapy or something that will help

I think buying this machine would make your anxiety (and anybody's) worse. There is no need to have your heart electrical impulses checked continually unless in the context of critical/acute care.
I think if i bought one of these id become a basket case....and same goes for the bp machine...a definite no for me
I'VE LEARNED THAT PEOPLE YOU CARE ABOUT IN LIFE ARE TAKEN FROM YOU TOO SOON....AND THE LESS IMPORTANT ONES JUST NEVER GO AWAY....AND THE REAL PAINS IN THE ASS ARE PERMANANT.

A great big frothing tankard full of NO.
You would do nothing but check and re-check yourself then analyse every bit of data until you're convinced you've got a heart defect. If you're worried about your heart, see a doctor. Don't try to treat yourself unless you've been to uni for seven years and got a PhD in looking at ECG readouts.

What would you do if you weren't afraid?
I drew the line between hope and despair, and the line will hold.
"Forth now, and fear no darkness!"
Actually they make them just for anxious people...lol
Really its funny I was on a doctors board the other day and saw a portable one but I think its really for people that come home from the hospital and need montoring. It wouldn't help me to have one I would be attached to it night and day.. :-)))))
