A member asked:

What to do if i am a little scared about a holter monitor test tomorrow, any advice?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Holter monitor: A holter monitor is an ECG machine that you wear to monitor the heart's electrical activity over a long period of time, usually 24 hrs. There is nothing to fear about the test and it is not uncomfortable.
