Irregular heart beat: A holter monitors your heart rhythm with an ekg over a long period of time, like a full day or two. Looks for causes of irregular heart beat, fainting, or palpitations.

The truth: A holter is used to diagnose rhythm problems. If you explain your symptoms to your doctor, and they feel a holter would be helpful, they will get one for you.
