I have had a holter monitor strapped to me twice; the first time, a totally typical day, including the usual freaky shit. The second, I was better prepared and came before the appointment.
As far as I’m aware there wasn’t a meaningf difference in the results. And jerking it might give better, more accurate results, if it’s a regular scheduled activity.
It’s not like you’d be the first one to do it. If you like an audience, even better. If you’ve got it, flaunt it.
I had a full sleep study done that included a holter (and a microphone, lol). I did consider exactly that, but all the wires made it a pain in the ass just getting up to pee, let alone getting freaky
Also your friends are like… wrong about the standing still part, no idea why they told you that. It’s basically just a portable EKG attached to your body that you wear while going about your normal day.
Or they were talking about something else like a regular EKG. Anyway, exercise with a holter should be fine, showering with a holter might be a little annoying or not even possible unless you get new contact pads.
I’ve been given some equipment that recorded my breathing and heartrate (little tubes near my mouth and nose, chest strap). just check em out and return them the next day.

How about exercising with the monitor? Like if that’s part of my regular day.
Never have had holter monitor, but few of my friends said they need to stand still while it measures. That would make working out kinda harder.
They give you a little diary to write down stuff like that.
Good to know. Thank you.

They might have been joking or it could have been some odd recommendation from the doctor.

I was told both times, absolutely no showering or bathing. Maybe for the 72h one they give you new pads to swap out?
Probably not, I suppose most people would put the pads in the wrong positions. Also sleeping with a holter was super annoying.
Most sleep studies take place in a visually observed room at a doctor’s office
This changes nothing

In those cases you should do your bedtime routine before turning it on, though. The jerking is clearly part of the bedtime routine here.
You mean an audience?
