Tuesday and Wednesday weren't fun with my first atrial fibrillation experience. Zero stars, would not recommend. I WOULD recommend the Samsung Watch... it identified what was going on. After 5 hours in the ER, I'm feeling better. I'll be wearing this heart monitor for 14 days, and I have more doctor appointments ahead, but I'm okay. Thank you to the doctors and nurses at St. Vincent's / Intermountain Health!

I packed up and returned the #HeartMonitor today. That annoyance is out of my life for now, anyway. I had another symptomatic episode today after the monitor was gone. I used my Smartwatch and performed an ECG.
The algorithm classifies results as sinus rhythm, #AFib, or "inconclusive." Of course this one came back inconclusive. That's also what it said on the ones that put me on the monitor in the first place. So, I sent the report to the cardiologist.

I posted about the fun I've had with the heart monitor on my (very) sensitive skin.

Healing progress, such as it is. Three days since removing the strip (after two weeks) and changing to ECG style contacts with lead wires.
I had hoped for more quick healing, but ... 🤷♀️

CW: Images of cleavage with severe skin irritation, slight breast, no nipples
Today I received new supplies for the heart monitor, including an alternative method of attachment. I have chosen to use that alternative so that the skin between my breasts can start to heal.

It may be sensitive to body position. It started working again almost immediately after I sat up straight to do something. Then I leaned back in my desk chair, and almost immediately got "poor skin contact" again. To test that theory, I sat up bolt straight again. Yes, it started monitoring again. No relaxing for me this weekend? 🤷♀️

No sooner did I post this, then 2 minutes later, it went back to monitoring. 🤷♀️
This thing is really frustrating.

It seems like I will be going off the heart monitor this morning, until the new supplies I have requested arrive on Monday.
The "poor skin contact" notification is now apparently continuous. The customer support for the monitor told me that if that continues for one hour, to go ahead and remove it. It's not doing any good at that point.
I'm fairly certain that it's already past that hour, but I'll watch it more closely for the next hour.

Oh this is interesting. Among the risk factors for atrial flutter is "women". That and "older age" seem to be the only listed factors that I currently qualify for.
"Women". A risk factor for a heart issue. You'd think they could have come up with a better way to express that.

I got a call a little while ago from the cardiologist. Two days ago, the monitor recorded an episode of AFib and atrial flutter in the evening. So, I guess it was worthwhile going through the discomfort from the skin irritation.
It's official. I have AFib. My stroke risk is currently considered low (1% / year). He's referring me to an electrophysiologist, so he's concerned. That's a type of specialist I'd never heard of before.

CW: Whining about skin irritation
I will be so glad to be rid of this heart monitor so my skin has a chance to heal. ☹️
So far, the E patch is not irritating my skin at all. 😊
