Holter monitor: I recommend that you wear a Holter monitor as an outpatient for 24-48 hours. This records your heart rhythm and you will write what times you felt the flutters. In this test we can identify what the heart rhythm is at the time of symptoms, determine your baseline heart rhythm and rates and count the number of abnormal beats,,identify the type and whether they're single or come in runs.
