Holter Monitor Reaction
I just had to do another 48 hour Holter Monitor (I get them done every 6ish months since I’m taking Ivabradine), and this time round the reaction to the adhesive has been brutal. Like red, raw, patches on my chest.
I do have topical steroid cream for my contact dermatitis flare ups, and I have used it on these rashes/hives, but the moment I sweat or get too hot, they flare up (especially the one along my sternum area). I feel at a loss for what to do next, my GP is no help and my cardiologist office is also no help since it isn’t necessarily a cardiac issue. Any helpful tips for relief or quick healing, it’s been 3 days since i took off the monitor/adhesives.
