Preparing questions in advance can help patients to have more meaningful discussions with their physicians regarding their conditions. Patients may wish to ask their doctor the following questions related to Holter monitoring:

1. How long will I be wearing the Holter monitor?
   
   
2. What are we looking for?
   
   
3. Will I feel anything when it is working?
   
   
4. Can I shower? Be exposed to water?
   
   
5. Is there any danger that electronic devices might interfere with my Holter monitor?
   
   
6. Will I know if it stops working? How?
   
   
7. What happens if one of the electrodes comes off?
   
   
8. What happens if I remove the device? Will I have to start over?
   
   
9. If these results are inconclusive, what is the next step in my diagnosis?
   
   
10. If these results reveal an abnormal heart rhythm, what are my treatment options?
