What to do following a Holter Patch that recorded a 7.4 sccond pause

I am assuming there were more pauses with less duration. You do not mention being symptomatic . I had been bradycardic with occasionally feeling like I was going to pass out. I developed a fib and needed an ablation but still complaining about feeling like I was going to pass out. The doctor ordered a Holter monitor. In the 10 days i wore it, I had 1400 pauses. The longest pause being 7.8 sec. I had a pacemaker installed and have been symptom free since then.
Ask how many pauses you had and their duration. I certainly wasn’t aware of how many had occurred. While some multiple short pauses are ok ,certainly 7.4 seconds long is concerning. A second opinion is a good idea if you are not confident that this is your best option. Good luck.

Thanks for your response. Website or my computer was confused so just able to respond.
1st and 2nd day following ablation on Kardia Mobile, NSR
After that, all read to today "possible AFib"
Never have I had sysmptoms. 6 day work outs, weights, elliptical, cycling 15 miles Avg. speed 17 mph.
3 pauses

The decision is to go with a "Leadless" PM (small capsule inplanted thru the catheter) and follow with an ablation because I now have aFib.
