Hi I had a saddle embolism in Jan 2023, will be on blood thinners for ever . My question i have is I notice my heart races at 120 plus for couple hours or more randomly.My thyroid meds we had to lower my dose due to the numbers being off from blood tests . We have only done a 24 hour heart monitor about 4 months ago , can they do a longer heart monitor test . . My second brother at age 34 just passed away of heart attack.
