First of all, I just went through an EKG, Echocardiagram, and a Stress test about a little over a month ago. I had to wear a heart monitor for a month also to see if they could catch any rhythm issues that might cause me to have a rapid heartrate at times. I just got those results a little over a week ago. I was told that all of the tests above came back great, and that I had a strong healthy heart. I was also told that I didn’t have any problems with the rhythm of my heart, but that I had something called sinus tachycardia where my rhythm is normal but my just beats a little faster than normal. My heart doctor said it was not life threatening or anything. Anyway, I bought a new blood pressure monitor yesterday.. one of those Omron ones that also detects irregular heartbeats. I took a few measurements yesterday and a few today. It detected irregular heartbeat only once for those readings. I am wondering if sinus tachycardia.. could cause this monitor to register irregular heartbeat? thanks
