Can I go into stores with this on? Like will it set off the security sensors? Also, can I still talk on my cellphone with it on? I forgot to ask these questions at the Dr's office. This thing is so big too. It looks like a bomb. I really needed to go to the bank today too...Ah well...Heh.

I recently wore the monitor. You can do anything you normally do. I don't know about airports but banks, stores and cellphones are ok. Mine wasn't big about the size of a small cellphone.

Ok, good. I wish mine was that small. Mine's about the size of a 3x5 picture and is at least 2 inches thick. Can't really hide it under my clothing :p

I wore one yesterday up through this morning. It was about the same size as you described (3x5x2"). Much too big to do much of anything and keep it concealed.
Why are you wearing one, if you don't mind me asking?
I was prescriped one because of heart palpitations.

I wore one for the same reason as you. I think I managed to get 3 small palpitations recorded on it so I'm happy about that. Some people don't get anything recorded. I turned it in on Tues. I have my echocardiogram in about an hour so we'll see what happens. My follow-up appt is on the 7th with my Dr so I'm guessing that's when I'll get all my test results from the blood work, holter and echo. Can't wait to figure out what's wrong with me. I just recently found out that my Aunt has Mitral Valve Prolapse. I basically take after her in every way imagineable, same build, same problems, ect. I'm betting that's what I have :p
