Follow-up to "Health Concerns" on Sunday, May 27, 2007.Today, I was fitted with a Holter monitor to record my heart's activities for 24 hours. I'm not sure if this will do any good because my palpitations are very rare. But, I hope that something will come out of it because I had to pay a bundle to get this test done.
So, for 24 hours, I'll have wires taped to my chest and a little portable device hanging at the end of the wires. I'm told that I need to live life normally while wearing the device, especially running. The hard part, though, is that I can't shower while wearing this. This will prove to be rather gross because I can't shower after running. I feel sorry for all the people who will have to see me after my running but before I return the device, especially those 2nd graders at my mom's school to whom I will be reading tomorrow.The saga continues...

Hi, Eunice...I wore the same thing years ago due to the same problem. That time it was not related to any time zone change. It just happened (maybe due to some strong coffee I had the day before or some dark skinned chicken I had). As you said, nothing happened when I wore it. So the test turned out normal and they never found out why. Since then, I cut off all caffeine and no more dark-skinned chicken. Aren't you glad you only have to wear it for 24 hours?!
