Brief Answer:
It's most proably a computer incorrect interpretation.

Detailed Answer:
Hi XXXX!

I read your query and understood your concerns.

If you see cardiac beats than it's not a cardiac pause. This is why most probably it's a computer incorrect interpretation.

However could you upload the holter results and image for me so i will check them by my self?

I'm waiting for the test to be uploaded.
Wish you health!

Detailed Answer:
Hi back,

I have checked the screen shot from my holter and i confirm that it's an incorrect computer interpretation. This is why you shouldn't worry about that.

It is a common incorrect interpretation from the machine, this is why always the holter result are confirmed by an expert cardiologist.

MY advice is to wait for your cardiologist confirmation of the Holter monitoring (unfortunately i have checked only few secondsof holter monitoring).

Wish you health!
