Is It Safe To Have Sex While Having Heart Monitor?

Okay, so I have been having lightheadedness/fainting problems for about 3 months now. I went to the hospital and am now home with a 30 day heart monitor. Is it acceptable to engage in sexual activity, or is that unacceptable? I'm unsure if it would affect readings. My cardiac stress test was fine.

HI
Thanks for posting your query to Healthcaremagic.

Well if you have undergone Cardiac stress test and it is normal then no need to worry in engaging in sexual activities.

But you need to mention to your doctor once the report comes as during your sexual activity your heart rate and blood pressure would have gone high, so mention that at that time you were engaged in sex.

So go ahead , no problems .

Hope this information was useful to you.
Any clarifications feel free to ask .

Regards.
