homemaker is on a distinguished road
Casper...The one I have I wear for 30 days..and I also press the button when I feel something..It is called the King of Hearts Express Event Monitor, it has two leads and it about the size of a deck of cards. The monitor only holds 3 events, so after I press the button for 3 events I call a toll free number and place the telephone receiver over the monitor and press send. I sounds like a fax that is beeping in rhythm of your heart...It freaks my dog and cat everytime! LOL The tech asks you what were you feeling during the time, although sometimes the button is so touchy I press it by accident. They are trained cardiac techs so they can read it, but they can't say anything to you, but of course if it was life threatening, your doctor would be notified or 911 would be called.
So far all that they will tell me is that the transmission went through ok...doesn't mean that there is nothing of significance on there, but at least it is nothing horrible....
