Brief Answer:
I would explain as follows:
Detailed Answer:
Hello!
Welcome back on HCM!
I passed carefully through your Holter test report and would like to explain that in general the conclusions are almost similar to what your doctor has referred.
There is no clinically significant complex arrhythmia, no life-threatening ventricular arrhythmia, no cardiac conductance abnormalities.
So, the ECG recordings reveal clinically irrelevant isolated ectopic beats.
What is worth to consider is a short run (only four beats) of supraventricular tachycardia (SVT), which is not life-threatening and not an issue to worry about.
But such a finding may be responsible for those isolated lightheadedness episodes.
These Holter findings are not a limitation to your near coming plans. So, there is nothing to worry about your vacation.
You should feel free to enjoy your vacation without worrying on any issues.
For the moment there is no need for any further tests or any treatment.
But, if these episodes of lightheadedness keep persisting or they get longer, I would recommend implanting a loop recorder, for a longer monitoring of your heart rate.
Hope to have been helpful!
If you have any other questions, please don't hesitate to ask me again!
Wishing good health,
Dr. Iliri

Hello one more question as my gp could not explain it to me my blood pressure report says no evidence of HTN but suboptimal nocturnal dip does this mean that my blood pressure does not drop and is this dangerous cardiac wise and can I improve this
Also is my overall blood pressure good I am sorry I don't understand this should I be monitored and on medication

Brief Answer:
My answer as follows:
Detailed Answer:
Hello again dear!
I understand your concern, and would explain that the main conclusion of this test is that there is no evidence of hypertension.
This means that there is no need to be treated for hypertension.
Regarding suboptimal nocturnl dip, I would exlain that this is related to the fact that blood pressure normally decreases during the night. Absence of this phenomenon (non-dipping) has been associated in different studieswith increased cardiovascular risk.
These findings could be related to endocrine circadian rhythms or autonomic nervous system dysfunction.
But, there is no need to be worried in your clinical situation, because it is just sup-optimal dipping.
Anyway, here are some tips to improve your situation:
- try to regulate your sleeping hygiene (sleep 7 hours every night and try to fall asleep at the same time)
- avoid caffeine intake in the afternoon
- be active. Regular physical activity can regulate your endocrine circadian rhythms and also reduce blood pressure values.
- reduce salt intake.
Hope to have clarified some of your uncertainties!
Let me know about any other questions whenever you have any!

Brief Answer:

Detailed Answer:
Hello again!
Your Holter reports do not show any signs of myocardial ischemia or any other cardiac disorders.
So, the answer would be YES. It is very probably that your chest pains are related to costo or musculo-skeletal pain as all cardiac causes have been excluded.
There is nothing to worry about!
Hope you will have a nice time during your vacation!
Kind regards,
Dr. Iliri
