Heart Monitor Adhesive Sensitivity

I'm really stressed out. I'm wearing one of those heart monitors (for switching cardiologists, the new Dr is just seeing what he's working with, by a few tests); and I forgot I'm sensitive to adhesive. The adhesive on the heart monitor has been bugging me for about 24 hours now and I don't know if I should call my cardiologist about it...

I’m sensitive to adhesives on my skin, too, so I know u never know what ingredients u may be reacting to, & some reactions can cause worse issues, so best 4 your doctor 2 know. :)

it's red a little blotchy and definitely itchy. But nothing out of an ordinary reaction I get to wearing an adhesive for too long?

Bugging u how? If there is any redness, rash, or other irritation & it’s not getting better &/or getting worse, you should definitely contact your doctor ASAP. Just to be safe, u know? :) Good luck!!! <3
