Is it Right for You?
Find out if an insertable cardiac monitor might be right for you. Answer the following questions about your symptoms.
- Have you had more than one fainting spell and do not know the cause?
- Have you had infrequent, unpredictable fainting that has happened over time?
- Have you had diagnostic testing to determine the cause of your fainting spells without any answers?
- Are you receiving treatment for fainting, such as medication or lifestyle changes, but the treatment is not helping?
- Do you have heart palpitations or other heart irregularities before or after fainting?
- Does your family history include undiagnosed fainting or sudden cardiac arrest?
If you answered yes to any of the questions, consider asking your doctor if it would be appropriate to refer you to a cardiologist or electrophysiologist. These specialists may help determine whether your unexplained fainting is related to abnormal heart rhythms.
