Can Cardiac Monitor Be Removed During Sexual Intercourse?
I recently had chest pain that presented with the classic dyphoris, elephant on the sternum and radiating pain to the left arm pulse rate of 101 and BP 184/103 on arrival at the ER. After a complete cardiac work up there was no definative explinations for the chest pain and I was released from the hospital 36 hours after admission to the cardiac unit. Post admission pulse rate bradicardic at 55-59 BP 100's/70's
My Cardiologist has no ordered a 21 day cardiac event monitoring, Should I remove the monitor while involved in sexual incounters with my wife.

Hello. No, you shouldn't ever remove the monitor since it's there to capture any random bouts of an arrhythmia like premature ventricular contractions or a suproventricular tachycardia and, if that happens when the monitor has been removed, it'll be missed
