I did have an run of palps late yesterday, and the downside is I can only record 90 seconds at a time and then have to call it in, empty out the unit, and start over. So..if this is going on for a while, the extra beats, I have to stop, call, and record again. A real pain, but I think I got myself so annoyed, it took my mind off of the palpitations/extra beats! NO, I would never ask any of the techs that answer the phone anything about what they see, that would be the kiss of death for me! To me, a little bit of knowledge is a very dangerous thing. I will wait for my doctor to call if something shows up that is unusual. I did call the doctor's office this morning and spoke to the medical technician who explained they do get faxes every day from the central monitoring office, but unfortunately, with my insurance, I can't get another event monitor that will store more than one 90 second recording. Okay, so now onto my insurance company. Since I'm self-employed, I pay for my own health insurance, called Horizon and said I need to upgrade to a PPO. No good, they only take enrollments once a year in November. I never realized that the difference in price between my policy and the PPO is only a few dollars, because I happened to take the best HMO (is there such a thing with an HMO). So, I will deal with the 90 second recordings, I will keep it close to my heart for the next 30 days, and see what my results are. I'm finding myself stressing less and less over them, maybe because of the comfort knowing I can call in and transmit my beats? Maybe this is like having a security blanket because I know if something very unusual happened, my doctor would call me right away. That being said with just the slightest, ever so small, bit of sarcasm.
