Mysterious shortness of breath: What has helped you?

Interesting! I haven't heard of this monitor. Usually most people are familiar with a standard EKG at the doctor's office, but this is definitely an interesting test. Kind of like a sleep study where you're hooked up to a monitor aways from a doctor's office. These tests are good for catching any abnormalities away from a doctor's office where symptoms don't always occur. Thanks for sharing!

They even have one you can wear at home in bed at night.

I had a holter monitor hooked up to me for a day, some years ago. Based on what I now know about my test results my mistake at the time was to rest every time I started becoming out of breath. It turns out that when I don't stop to have a rest my heart rate just keeps rising to dangerous levels. Resting seemed to keep my heart rate in a normal range so the test failed to prove anything at the time.
