Has anyone worn one of the new Holter monitors? [View all]

The old were a harness kind of thing.

This new one (applied yesterday) is a small device attached with stickum of some kind. I have to wear it for fourteen days but it is itching like crazy and a bit painful as well.

I really need it, having sinus bradycardia in the range of 37 to 50 beats per minute for a couple of weeks now. Need that documented -- a pacemaker is likely in my future.
