Hi.! Holter

 

I never heard this name until yesterday and I had to sleep with Holter. I let Holter hugged me for 24 hours.

My Cardiologist asked me to do so. I have no choice but to abide by his instruction.

I’ve been complaining of irregular heartbeat. The first pediatrician said it probably caused by the supplement that I started to take. Vitamin B complex. May be..maybe not….

Its been more that 4 days I stopped taking the supplement but the irregularity prolonged and I couldn't help worrying whether I may or may not reach the next minute or the next day or the next week, alive. Next, my loving hubby made an appointment with the family’s favorite cardiologist, Dr. Haizal, at Tropicana Specialist Hospital. That when he introduced me to Holter. He said my heart occasionally missed beat. Move your butt, you …lazy heart..!!!

Holter is a portable device use to continuously monitor various electrical activity of the cardiovascular system for 24 hours. The electrical circuit were then sticked to my body around the heart area. And I went to sleep in that condition.

This is how a Holter looks like, EXCEPT my body OF COURSE MUCH SEXIER than what you see in this picture.

I had no problem sleeping with the device, but I hated it when the nurse called me for blood test. Thats when the drama began…..

ouch..ouch..ouch..!!

I’ve not even touch  you…

ok..ok..but you are going to right..?

auww….ouch…ouchh…!

sorry, your vein shrunk.You are too scarred. I have to re do. Just relax….

Oh SHUD..!!! RE-DO..??? %$#@@#$$!!!!!!!

Take a deep breath.This time I will use baby needle.

Yeah..right..what difference does it make? its still a needle…

I just need a few ml. not too much

can’t you do it without poking..??

HA..HA..HA…!

ouch..! ouch..! ouch..! why so long..???

ok..ok. its done..!!!

Oh man..!!! How I hate needle.

I walked out of the room with agony but proud. I did it! I did it..!!

By the time I’m working on this journal, I still have Holter hugging me. I should know the result by the next day. Lets wait for the result.
