What can you not do while wearing a heart monitor?

1.Get too close high-voltage areas

Electrical interference could result in faulty readings, meaning you would have to redo the test entirely. Besides, common sense dictates you should probably avoid high-voltage areas even when you aren’t wearing a Holter monitor.

2.Get your Holter Monitor wet

Avoid swimming, bathing, and strenuous exercise that may cause you to sweat heavily. Instead of showering, you can use wet wipes or soapy washcloths to clean your body. However, be careful not to get the monitor, leads, or electrodes wet while using wipes or washcloths.

3.Get too close to strong magnets

Powerful magnets can interfere with the Holter monitor’s electronics and skew your results.

4.Use certain electronic devices

Certain devices can interrupt the signal from the electrodes and distort your Holter monitor test results. Stay away from microwaves, electric blankets, electric toothbrushes, electric razors, and metal detectors. If you absolutely need to go through a metal detector, then walk through it at a normal pace.

5.Let phone get too close to your Holter Monitor

Although you can still use these devices while wearing a Holter monitor, be sure to keep them at least 6 inches away from your monitoring device at all times.
