How easy would it be to look at the printout from a 24hr ecg and tell if there had been HR jumps of 30bpm +?
I have never looked at one and my (useless) general consultant has said he sees no need ofr any treatment to my GP. He has sent her the whole scan with those as his only comments. She hasn't looked at it yet but I'm sure she would let me have a copy too. But if it just shows closer together and more spaced out waveforms I am not sure how you would know exactly the heartrate at certain points.
I also have a video that I did of my heart rate monitor watch. Resting was between 89-94 and on standing it shot up to 131 and then stayed above 120 for around a minute before lowering to between 116-119 at which point I stopped the recording. Do you think I should upload the video to somewhere like youtube and send my GP a link or would that likely be dismissed.
At the time I had the holter done (6th July) my symptoms were slighlty better and my resting HR was probably around 76 or so. I haven't used the HR monitor much since then but put it on last week after seeing my GP and my resting HR struggles to bet much below 90 at the moment.
She was going to refer me to professor Newton at Newcastle (UK) who does testing for POTS and OH etc. But I'm now worried that she won't after my consultants comments. Although she hasn't been happy with his approach so far so maybe she will look more deeply.
Thanks for any thoughts/ info
