I had a forty eight hour heart monitor fitted on Friday. All other monitors that I have had fitted have only been twenty four hours. This time the pads where plastered over so that they would not work loose.

With the first few hours the pads were starting to itch. This hasn't happened before. After the forty eight hours were up, when the pads were removed, there were red marks where the plasters were. This stopped where the pads were, only where the plasters were.

If I have one fitted again I will have to make sure the either no plasters are applies or a type that does not cause a reaction.

It is too soon to have any results from it yet.
