I was wondering if any SVT people out there wear a runner's watch to keep track of their episodes. I have looked at the tomtom watch, the mio alpha and the new fitbit. I would like to try one without a chest and if possible. Any suggestions? Thanks in advance!
Hi I use an app on my phone it's a great heart monitor,you just
put your finger on the back of your iphone to get a pulse reading,
Hope this helps Lisa.
I was wanting a watch that would monitor my heart rate while exercising when I'm at the gym. First I bought a Fitbit Charge but it didn't work very good showing my heart rate and it didn't show it continuously like I wanted. I bought a Polar FT4 watch and I love it. It shows my heartrate during my entire workout. It gives me Peace of mind at the gym. If I feel a PSVT coming on then I can just look at my watch and check my pulse. I do have to wear the chest strap though. I don't really like it but I only have it on for an hour or two. If I work out at home I don't wear it.
I purchased the AliveCor EKG monitor that goes on my iPhone. Its awesome because it captures my heart rate and a full EKG readout digitally and in real time.
I finally caught one of my SVT episodes with it yesterday. HR went up to 244 for about 10 minutes. Now I have an EKG that I can show my eletrophysiologist, to hopefully confirm if its SVT or something worse.
