Holter Monitor Again!

Finally got another holter monitor for 24 hrs. hopefully they will finally figure out if it's the meds or my heart that's making me lightheaded more often than not! I'm getting so annoyed by this and I want to start feeling better once again. Both meds i'm on (Propafenone and Pradaxa) have side effects including lightheadedness but I was like that before when I went into A-flutter PSVT so who knows. The ablation I had in May worked great until I went into A-flutter again only 2 months later in July. The last couple of days have really been bad with lightheadedness--I'm also having mild chest discomfort as well nothing serious but I can tell it's there. I am so ready for this to end and be back to "normal" sorry for the venting! When I saw the dr. last month they did an ekg and of course it was perfectly normal at that time. (I'm getting rates sometimes as low as the 40's and even 30's at night as well as rates up in the 80's and 90's when I'm just sitting.

You have been at this for a while now. I hope you find some relief and your Doc has some answers.

After 24 hr holter last week I finally found out its NOT my heart. Good news there said everything was great! Still not sure on the lightheadedness but I'm at least working on a theory on the chest discomfort (wondering if it might be acid reflux so treating it accordingly). At least we know what it's not! Good news there.
