To cans624 ZIO PATCH

I continue to have difficulty responding to messages on this site. First of all, I can't even enter the site via aol.com. I have to use goggle chrome. When I access the comments made to my posts, it doesn't allow me to respond. Instead, I have to click at the top to go to "Post Message". Then, I have to sign in again!

I live near Springfield, IL. I got my ZIO patch from the cardiology office at Springfield Clinic. It was a blue silicone looking device that was easy to use. It felt a bit heavy at first, but I got use to it. One drawback is that it is quite noticeable. Being that it was summertime, I embraced the look and did not try to hide it. Oddly, only one person asked what it was. Others obviously noticed it, but for whatever reason didn't ask. BTW, the people at the zio place were very helpful and friendly when I called to ask a question.

The company is iRhythm and the web address is:

You should be able to find an 800 number for them to ask if they can send info to your physician.

Hey iheartemh,
I also am a Springfield Clinic Cardio patient and have been pacing for 3 years. Have never heard of the ZIO.
Thanks for the enlightenment.
Cheers,
Christine
