Holy Heart Monitor Batman!

Well, due to some frequent tachycardia the last few weeks (racing heart), my rheumatologist sent me to see a cardiologist. He ordered a heart monitor for me to wear to record these racing heart "events". Well, I get myself all hooked up to electrodes and wires and a sensor pack and talk to the monitor people over the phone to activate the equipment. While on the phone with them, I asked them how long I have to wear this contraption. I was thinking.... maybe a few days.... a week at most. No.... 21 days!!!!

Seriously, I have electrodes and wires glued to my chest and abdomen. Some of them are above my shirt line (just below my collar bones). I have to wear this monitor 24/7 for 21 days?! UGH!!!
