Recording symptoms
This chapter describes the symptoms function. This
feature may not be activated for you by your health
care provider.
If you experience any symptoms – such as trouble breathing,
dizziness, or racing heartbeat – while wearing the monitor,
it can be useful for your doctor to be able to identify when
you experienced them. This allows your doctor to assess your
cardiac information during the time you were feeling particular
symptoms.
When symptoms occur, you will be prompted on your
BodyGuardian Connect smartphone to select the symptoms
you were feeling at that time.
There are two types of triggers that will prompt you to select
and record your symptoms:
Manual
You click the center button on the monitor on your chest
when you are feeling symptoms.
Automatic
The monitor automatically detects that you may be
experiencing cardiac symptoms, even something mild.
