You might consider asking your dr if you can go 30 days on the monitor. I believe itll give you and your dr a clearer picture.
I did a 15 day monitor which didnt show much.
However, during the 30 days we noticed a pattern. When I went into full blown afib around 189 into the 200s, I went fast. This was helpful for us to know.
Perhaps your dr will allow you to do another monitor for 30 days.
Best!

@ebtexas55
Thank you for your response and suggestion. I’ve been keeping track myself for 4.5 years since I started Kisqali. I’m fully aware when I’m in afib and feel wiped out. Each year the episodes get more frequent and longer in duration. Currently I’m going into afib once sometimes twice a week for 30-60 hours each time. I’ve identified many food triggers and even exercise but no matter how many triggers I eliminate there seems to be more. It’s progressing and I’m losing 10 days of life each month. I’ve refused treatment for 4.5 years but feel I’m at a tipping point. At this point I don’t think changing cancer meds would even stop it. I think it has progressed too much with too many triggers. Just hoping for a good outcome if we move forward with an ablation and the blood thinner I’ll have to go on for a few months. During the 9 day monitoring I had two episodes about 35 hours each (3 days apart) plus a crazy one minute burst. Maybe other things I didn’t feel. Thanks again.
