Cardiologist ask: Holter monitors are usually put on to monitor arrhythmia that could ultimately lead to cardiac arrest. Just simple tachycardia around 100 is to be monitored but perhaps your cardiologist is looking for a particular arrhythmia that might lead to an arrest. I would suggest you speak with your cardiologist and ask him/her what they are looking for, and explain your concern.

Ask same doctor: You should ask the same doctor to interpret your results and his recommendations so that you can understand. Your physician has all of your data and should willingly share this information with you. If not, then gather your information and seek a second opinion. In the meantime, avoid caffeine, smoking and any medications that might cause your heart to beat faster. Try to avoid stress.
