Hello @EternalFlower @TAB
Yes warm here too but a bit of wind.
Holter monitor or BP @TAB ? Hope you're OK. I had a heart scan last week, probably negative but I'm reluctant to face my cranky gp for the result.

Holter monitor @Dimity have to wear 3 days as told them probs are intermittent.
I would get another GP its not worth it. first one I saw after moved here I dreaded seeing again, they were really rude. i just saw someone else and have done so again since then, not wasting my time on people who do not care about my welfare lol..

Hope it and the diary capture whatever's troubling you @TAB . I've worn one a couple of times, and I've also had a 24hr BP thingy. A few years back my old gp told me to get a home BP monitor.
Just turned on the a/c, it's better already.

i got told to get BP monitor in 2015 @Dimity did not get one until after on meds in like 2019
yeah 3 days a bit much for monitor , its way smaller than one had before; thats lucky , but have to workpout new sleep positions etc cant shower

Yes I can imagine @TAB , it sounds a bit uncomfortable.
Re GP someone's recommended one at a different practice but I'm yet to make a move.

I usually change within same practice if not working for me @Dimity unless whol place is like they are . not too many choices here. could go to another town or to capital city to see someone used to seed 10 years ago now, but would nt be going that often, although , come to think of it have study in adelaide a day a fortnight all year starting in 10 days or so , so could see drs when down there , dunno
