Yesterday took Mum to Hospital Lam Wah Ee for her Blood Test. Pagi ni, she has an appointment to see her Physician, Dr Francis Tan. Blood test results were out. Alhamdulillah, everything ok.
Mum told him about her frequent fainting spells lately. He sent her for an ECG. Bila dapat results, although he said there was nothing to worry, he referred her to the Cardiologist, Dr Lim Guan Choon for further investigations. Another ECG was done and later, buat Stress Test pulak.
By the time Mum finished those tests, it was already lunch hour. We went home for prayers and after that, I took my parents to Yosenabe for steamboat lunch. Around 3pm, Mum and I went back to see Dr Lim. He decided to put her on Holter Monitor to be worn for 24 hours.
Apa itu "Holter Monitor"?
A Holter monitor is a machine that continuously records the heart's rhythms. Small electrodes are stuck onto the chest ..
and attached to a small recording monitor ..
The Holter monitor may be able to detect irregularities in the heart rhythm that an ECG couldn't. It helps to correlate symptoms of dizziness, palpitations (a sensation of fast or irregular heart rhythm) or blackouts.
3pm esok, back to see Dr Lim for her results ...
