What causes rapid heart rate after using implanted heart monitor?
Patient: For at least nine months i have been trying to resolve this problem.... I m on my third cardolgist and have an implanted heart monotor.... I m fine during the day, but when i go to sleep my heart starts feeling like a vibrator is running and I wake up every 45 -60 minutes ....this goes on all night and I don t ever get enough sleep to make me feel alive.....i Have sleep aphnea but it still happens wearing the mask....it s been getting worse lately.. all tests don t show anything but they are done while I m awake.....heart rate goes up to 160 showing on a holter monitor....again this only happens at night ....any ideas ? Doctor: hello,I have gone through your query.Thanks for using HCM.Actually I need to know exact report of your Holter Monitoring especially at night when you get fast heart rate.Depending upon the type of rhythm disturbances we may plan medication or Implatable device.My best wishesDr.Rajesh Teli,MD.
