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.
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.
