Has anyone had an insertable Cardiac Monitor?

I have the loop recorder because I pass out randomly with no warning at all. I do feel symptoms, (fluttery pounding, racing) but every time I reported them, they seemed annoyed. Finally they straight up told me, we only want to know if you pass out. So I would patient activate when that happened, and it showed nothing. We recently decided to have it removed, and while I’m waiting for them to set that up, I’ve begun getting red alerts in my chart. I get an automated response, but they’ve stopped answering my messages. So I guess I don’t know what’s going on, if I’m still having it removed? Or if I should go back on metoprolol. Communication would be great.

cwitton1- Has your cardiologist ever mention the possibility of Cardiogenic Syncope? I have family member that has these same symptoms. It was finally determined that Cardiogenic Syncope was his diagnosis. Is there any chance you can go to a different Cardiologist? For your safety and well-being- it sounds like this may be a good option to explore.
