Heart rate boost

[KateS10]

Has anyone ever just been laying down literally doing nothing ... watching a show on couch ( I was )... and I checked my Fitbit and heart was in the 68-73 mark then literally out of blue I looked and it says 130!!!! Like what in the hell !!!!! I wasn’t doing anything but laying there ... I got so freaked out I took my watch off and had to try and calm down ..... but my question is WHY ... like why can it go from 68 to 130 in matter of seconds !!!!!!! Of course now I am just all sorts of freaked out 😢

Did it feel like your heart was racing which prompted you to look at your watch? Or did it feel like it was racing after you looked at your watch? I ask because those watches aren’t always accurate and can send you into unnecessary panic and worry. I had a couple and had to stop wearing them because I would obsess over every higher reading.

No it was strange. I didn’t even realize my heart was beating so fast. I was checking it every so often just because of it being in the 60’s laying down ( which is out of blue for me ). Maybe because I am on a beta blocker now .... but still alarms me to see it so low at times ..... so I checked it again just randomly and it said 130!!!!!!! Just laying down !!!! I wasn’t doing anything .... so I immediately got up and took the damn watch off because I didn’t want to see it get any higher ....

I have had mine do the same thing before! I was on the couch too and out of nowhere it was 130. I know it was from an adrenaline rush. It is scary when it happens. I too took the watch off because I hated to see it go any higher
