has someone tried to record the ecg overnight ?
I've got a PC-80B for $130 and successfully used it for some nights,
but it's a bit tedious.
Now I'm looking for other's data to compare.

Do you have training in how to interpret them?

no. There are some internet sites ...
The device keeps printing reports : "fast/slow/irregular beat" etc.
I see missing beats, intervals of irregularities, but this usually happens
when I move or touch the wires or the device or the sensors disconnect.

I don't know what and how many of these warnings per night are normal.
Also I'm almost lacking the P-wave .

Not the typical diseases and irregularities that you find online.
I'd like to see other "normal" ECGs with that machine.

I have no apnoe, but here are the experts for overnight recording ?!

You have to be very tough or very drunk to do heart repair on your own heart. Which are you? Jim

If you do try it remember images in a mirror are reversed.

It always confused me when I raised my right hand and the guy in the mirror raised his left.
