Sparklefizz I think it would have been OK if I hadn't been told to replace the plasters, moving it for a bit then putting it back madr it so much worse. Hopefully find out soon as they will take less time looking at it I suppose
VioletSky Sorry, I have only just seen your post. I had one of those heart monitors stuck to my chest and had a tremendous reaction to the plasters like you. I didn't move them, just gritted my teeth and counted the days till I could take them off. My skin was left raw like a piece of steak.
I do hope that yours was on long enough to get some proper results.
Stillwaters I handed it in today, I tried putting it back in the original position and my skin flared up so badly it was bleeding so I had to take it off. Tried contacting outpatients several times with no luck so just going to have to hope 2 days was enough to show any issues
Does anyone have any experience with this? I wasn't given any instructions for it and can't seem to find the right information online.
It has 2 stickers, one on my chest with the device itself and one on my lower ribs. I was told to change these every 2 days and I was told I could move them a bit.
I was having quite an allergic reaction to the one on my chest so I moved that over 1 inch to (my) left. Now when I press the button to flag up when I feel dizzy, heart palapatations or heart racing it is doing a different beep.
Have I done something wrong or is that normal? I can't call the hospital until Monday and worried about missing 2 days readings
