There honestly isn't any indication to go into the ER if you're wearing the MCOT monitor. While you have it on, detection of an arrhythmia is automatically transmitted to a central surveillance station for further analysis and possible intervention. If something concerning or life threatening was going on, someone would call you about it immediately.
Gender: Male. Age: 21. Weight: 160. Diagnosed with asthma.Some months ago, I went into the emergency room for heart palpitations. I am prone to heart palpitations during anxiety, but those are caused by tachycardia. They feel like a fluttering in my chest. These heart palpitations feel like my heart stops and then THUDS into my chest. When I went into the emergency room, they were relatively infrequent. I was referred to a cardiologist.During my cardiology appointment, the doctor told me that I had a heart murmur. He ordered an echocardiogram, an MCOT monitor and a stress test. The echocardiogram came back negative for any abnormalities and I have four days left on my MCOT monitor (which is like a monitor that sits on a patch above my heart and monitors my heart rhythm 24/7). I never had the stress test done.Since that appointment, I've had these beats relatively infrequently. Maybe four times a night tops.Starting last night, I began to have them much more frequently. Much more frequently. And it is only one PM and it's happening maybe two or three times already. My question iswhen are these skipped beats concerning? When should I be worried about dying? Should I go to an emergency room?
