How reliable is the heart monitor from HeartCare Corp. in Ewing NJ. I had a monitor on for two weeks and they said it showed my pulse dropped to 35 in the afternoons. I question that, because never had any symptoms and have checked myself. I have had a slow pulse all my life when at rest ( 40 s ).
Hi welcome to Chat Doctor. I understand your query and concern. Clinical examination and palpation of pulse rate is always accurate than a monitor. So I advise you to get your pulse and blood pressure monitored manually. If still its Chat Doctor. I advise you to get an ECG,2 D Echo, lipid profile immediately to confirm the diagnosis. If is the ejection fraction is under 30% you need immediate hospitalization.It's always advisable to keep the blood pressure under 130/80 mm of Hg. Restrict the intake of salt to less than 6gm/day.
