Heart holter

Question

Heart holter

Asked for Female, 30 Years

Had a holter monitor for 48 hrs. It showed increased heart rates and slowing at times. Dr said I need to follow up with a cardiologist. But, what can this mean? I also had a stress test echo and it was normal. Is this something I really need to see cardio for? Dr gave me no other info except that the monitor did detect the presence of fast heart rate and sometimes slowing. I have been having lots of chest pains the last year and some other medical issues. I am a 30yo female, 5'4 and about 160lb
