I'm recovering from Covid and sometimes I feel my heart racing, so my doctor wants me to get some tests done. I've already finished my ECG and Echo, and I'm wearing this Holter monitor today. Do I need to just hang out at home and keep an eye on things, or can I go about my normal day, like going to work, having meetings, and driving around? If keeping up with my usual routine is doable, is it necessary or could I just relax at home if I wanted to? Let me know what you think!

While the Holter machine is fitted on your body, it is recommended to continue your regular daily activities as usual. You can go to the office, attend meetings, drive, and carry on with your daily routine. There is no need to stay at home and observe yourself during the Holter monitoring. It is important to maintain your usual activities to get an accurate representation of your heart's activity throughout the day. Thank you for providing the information.

I'm feeling really shaky and I've been having these spells of dizziness, lightheadedness, and nausea. I've been keeping an eye on my blood pressure since around 5pm, and it's been all over the place. It started at 12987 with a pulse of 75, then went to 13994 with a pulse of 89, 13795 with a pulse of 84, 13387 with a pulse of 70, and now it's at 13290 with a pulse of 76. I made sure I was sitting up straight and resting before and during each check. I'm really trying to figure out what's going on with me. Can you help?

Your symptoms of shakiness, dizziness, lightheadedness, and nausea, combined with fluctuating blood pressure readings, may indicate dehydration, anxiety, or an underlying condition such as orthostatic hypotension, hypoglycemia, or autonomic nervous system dysfunction; consider consulting a healthcare professional for a thorough evaluation and potential tests, such as blood work or an ECG, to determine the underlying cause.
