Pulse Ox Machine Question????

While watching her oxygen I am able to watch Haven's heart rate. Now the machine is hooked up perfect and we have excellent readings - nothing is malfunctioning. Haven is laying perfectly still.....

My question to anyone else on Pulse Ox: Haven's heart rate seems skips sometimes. Sometimes it does a double click really fast and sometimes it seems to skip a beat. Does your machine do this? Is something messing up even though all lights are green and no alarms are signaling?

Sometimes it goes...da...da..da..da..da..dada..da..da.........da..da..da..da..dada..da..da..da..da..da..da.

I guess I just have to wait for Cardiology to get back to me on the over night monitor they put on her. I have been reading up on Tachycardia to understand it, as this is what she went to Cardiology for. Usually with ROHHAD a child will develop Bradycardia (slow heart rate) - I have not seen reports on Tachycardia.

Ugggg....I really just want to be able to sleep not stay half conscious!

ROHHAD in Ireland

 I received this story in my email today. It still shocks me that my daughter has ROHHAD. It's a horrible disease that destroys a child...
