A member asked:

Doctor advised holter for heart monitoring. does this sound serious?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Holter monitor: Typically a holter heart monitor is ordered to look for rhythm disturbances. Generally this is done for people with palpitations, dizziness or episodes of fainting/passing out. It is certainly important to do the test if your doctor has recommended it.
