Cardiio app on iOS—measures heart rate via camera covered by your finger—seems to reliably graph my arrhythmia. It doesn’t save the graph though, have to screenshot the result screen after finishing. You can see the out-of-order beats, should they happen during the measurement.
If I felt it was getting serious I’d look into a specialized device that can make it even more visible, letting me go to a doctor without awkwardness.
So far my arrhythmia seems like more or less episodical PVC though, if I interpret Wikipedia correctly. Happens reliably only during mentally / emotionally pressing moments, up to a beat every few seconds on bad days. Noticed that mild cardio, like jogging in place, helps ‘warm up’ the heart (feels cold during the episodes somehow).
- agumonkey 11y agoYou mean exercise avoid the misplaced beats ? averaging the rhythm ? Since my 'accident' I felt some for of orgasm when able to run for more than a few seconds. The warmth of blood reaching your cells, the heart pumping a little bit stronger but still regularly. The joy of living tissue.
- goblin89 11y agoAnecdotally, during a couple of more intense episodes, a bit of basic cardio (mild jogging in place, a few limp jumping jacks, not trying too hard) helped me reduce perceived ‘bad’ beat frequency, and yeah, felt nice, warmer, etc.
