yes, i think buying a Kardia monitor is an expensive one-time endeavor, i won't do it. The specific cardiologist i mentioned is an ancient brute who even cannot use PC. I don't feel the need to prove anything to him. It's just he was the first in a row whom i selected when looked for an appointment and this is a lottery in Spain. He would definitely not approve of the use of any third-party device especially, i guess monitors with less derivations than Holter monitor has. A normal clinical grade Holter is available on Amazon but even if i buy to use and return it to Amazon i would need 600eur which i don't currently have (existential crisis doesn't happen in the sphere of health alone). I know monitoring for weeks is possible, but i can't live with the electrodes on my skin, i develop urticaria and can’t gen any sleep even with 24h monitoring (I develop insomnias even on more innocuous occasions, once I had insomnia for 1.5 year during army service). So anyway the first thing to do is to ditch the cardiologist and find a different one. Of course I can trigger a fibrillation during 24h monitoring. The irony of the situation is that i tried it, but it worked only next day, just after it was removed, and worked fabulously, i hardly managed to survive.
Starting a subject here was more like an act of desperation. But i am taking an antiarrhythmic which gradually takes the edge out of my condition, hope i will adapt. Also I am exploring other venues and I got some interesting data with the pneumologist who seems to be a great guy, which helps better understand the cardiac situation. Later I will consult a different cardiologist. Thank you for your concern and have a great week ahead.
