My new Cardiomedix Cardiac Event Monitor (ECG)

[Fullmetal1890P]

I just got one of these bastards today. I hate it already.

[alin0steglinski0]

@Fullmetal1890P LOL at least its only temporary.

[Fullmetal1890P]

@alin0steglinski0 I'm stuck with it for 30 days and it's so stupid.They hooked me up to it because I've nearly had heart-attacks several times the past week and they figure "if it happens again, record it and call this number"... yeah, because if I'm DYING OF A HEART-ATTACK I'm going to have a minute to record and then call these people. I don't even know how to wear it comfortably.

[alin0steglinski0]

@Fullmetal1890P thats kind of stupid for something like that they should really admit you to the cardiac care unit.

[Fullmetal1890P]

@alin0steglinski0 Right? But of course not, that would make sense. Instead I'm stuck living with this little machine for a month and wait to have another episode.

[alin0steglinski0]

@Fullmetal1890P yeah what country are you in. you in the united states of nonsensamerica

[Fullmetal1890P]

@alin0steglinski0 I'm in the US. You'd think our doctors would be smarter.

[alin0steglinski0]

@Fullmetal1890P what state and insurance... makes a big difference my doctors are all stellar and awesome but thats cause im in illinois on medicare/medicaid and have great hospital

[Fullmetal1890P]

@alin0steglinski0 I live in NY but I go to PA. I'm not sure what insurance, my dad pays for it.

[alin0steglinski0]

@Fullmetal1890P ever tried new york presbyterian hospital? one of the biggst in the nation and a really good cardiac team there.

[Fullmetal1890P]

@alin0steglinski0 Idk, I'll just have to see if this thing works. How'd it work for you?

[alin0steglinski0]

@Fullmetal1890P sucker did its job for me. i didnt have much issus but my cardiologist decided to do an ablation in cath lab and im fixed

[Fullmetal1890P]

@alin0steglinski0 What's that?

[alin0steglinski0]

@Fullmetal1890P cardiac catheterization laboratory.

[alin0steglinski0]

[jrdfreckles11]

[alin0steglinski0]

@jrdfreckles11 lol hehe. i need one and i still use one more advanced now (full ECG machine) due to my unstable heart condition. thanks for watching. :)

[Charityivy]

I think i have to get one of these. I finally, after 6 months of epsoids, told my mom. I'll find out this week if i need on . Is it really bad and embarassing having one of these?

[alin0steglinski0]

Good news for you, it's not bad at all. Make sure to get electrodes from your doctor that are for sensitive skin if you have such skin. Some electrodes have nasty adhesive, go with the ConMed Huggables if possible, if you are in low weight category. The machine its self is not embarrassing, no one will see the unit. You and others may hear a beep every few minutes when an event is recorded, you can excuse with "My cell phone is going off i be right back" get to a telephone and transmit asap then

[chocolatechipparadis]

OK thanks so much! I really apericate this. Im only 12, so this is really freaking me out. Thanks again!
