CAM (Carnation heart monitor) Problem
... and it's Sunday, of course, so until I can call the Bardy patient hotline tomorrow, I thought I'd ask you guys.
My CAM is adhering just fine, luckily no problem there. But this morning when I was trying to wriggle my tight sports bra over my head and carefully tug it into place, my hand slipped and caught the edge of the battrode and it popped off. 😬
I snapped it back on (levering the lower part in first like I did before I applied it the first time), and I think I felt it snap in okay, but no green lights flickered and I have no idea if it's still working.
One of my biggest problems with this mobitor tbh has been the rule that you wear a sports bra or "no bra" (LOL) Obv. none of those guys has ever tried to squeeze into a sports bra. I rarely wear them (only wear underwire bras) and I don't have any that fasten in the back--they're all pullover styles. I'm surprised this didn't happen sooner while I was trying to get my sports bra on over the monitor without hitting it.
Anyway, has this happened to anyone else -- the battrode popping off? Any way to know if it's still recording? Ironically, I'm now getting all kinds of irregular beats 😄 so I've been pushing the grey button and hoping it is picking them up...
Thanks!
