Heart Rate

[Dolby]

They say a normal rate is between 60 - 100 … but my Garmin has been giving me abnormal heart rate warnings since I got it a ago. I’m going to see someone to be safe - but check an average day

I’m not an active person so I’m unfit - but surely this is too high? This is at home …

Check if those don't coincide with your time in Apple threads. I did warn you.

I would imagine the Garmin to be one of the more accurate ones. So, yeah I'd go to a Dischem or clicks clinics at worst and have them take your bp.

Can't you edit it so only you get alerts at a higher rate. Maybe 120 or 130? Then there should be no abnormal alerts.

Possibility for inaccuracies is quite large. Perhaps the sensor couldn't get a read on you clearly or perhaps the reading was erroneous.

Good thing you're getting checked out either way, which you should be doing regularly regardless.

You say you're inactive, but don't forget the other things that require heart rate (like digestion for example, carbs in particular).

Normal heart rate is up to 100 but can be higher depending on your activity. It's only a rate above 120 or consistently higher than 100 that's really dangerous. Also these monitors aren't very accurate and will show readings of 160 but with the corresponding 30's which I don't see here though. If you're really worried get a good medical grade one or an ECG.

Get well soon, @Dolby.
Alternatively, RIP!

Were you arguing about phones during that time

That’s why I decided to get an Apple Watch instead.

On a serious note, watches generally only give a ballpark figure of your heart rate - cardiologists generally don’t like them for that reason (it can easily lead to medical anxiety). For something more accurate, you’re going to want to use one of the Garmin chest monitors instead.

Seems a bit silly to set such a static value of 100 across the board.

No two hearts are the same and it should rather look at the variable off a standard baseline.

My heart rate is anything from 41 - 196 as time goes by.

Now if your resting heart rate is over a 100 that’s a whole different story.

Buy an Apple Watch, problem solved.

Serious question, did this start late July side? That you noticed it?



If so it is best you leave Apple, it’s clearly not a healthy option for you.

Sometimes, it does ....

So if something happens to me, I've got a ton of iPhone folk to haunt ....

[ArmatageShanks]

Would I be correct in saying that you have not had a shag in this period?

90% less battery life that what I'm used to

I'm too scared of dying - or having more twins ... which means higher stress and higher heart rate

My sympathies.

Apple doesn't like other watches - so I had to get rid of Huaweu.

The Apple watch battery is a joke - so I bought a Garmin about 2 weeks ago. The Huawei didn't warn you about issues - this Garmin warns me, hence me picking this up now

 

[Dolby]

Now if your resting heart rate is over a 100 that’s a whole different story.

I should have clarified - it's when you're doing nothing. So a high rate while doing very little

If you are inactive for 10 minutes or more, and your heart rate stays above your set threshold, you’ll get an alert on the watch

Buy an Apple Watch, problem solved.

If it had more than a few hours battery life, cool - but it doesn't .

My Huawei - 330hrs+
My Garmin - 200hrs +
The Apple - 18hrs

How long does your phone battery last?
