A member asked:
I have been diagnosed with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy and i am wearing an event monitor and it is constantly going off. is this normal?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
If the monitor is: "going off" more frequently than you are feeling symptoms it is probably a malfunction due to poor lead connection to your skin. Also there may be many different arrhythmias that the device would be alert for which are not necessarily concerning. You may not know until your recording is completed and reviewed by your health care provider. If you are not symptomatic you should not be too concerned.
