ILR: You probably would benefit from a tiny implantable monitor - ilr. It is ~ 2 cm long, 0.5 cm wide and is implanted through a minimal skin incision on your left chest close to the third rib and breastbone. It records heart rhythm for 2-3 years and can correlate it with a syncopal episode. The cause for ~ 30% of unexplained recurrent syncopal episodes can be diagnosed this way.
