Having just bought a Fitbit Charge HR and read the safety warnings .. There is a whole page of health conditions you shouldn't use one with...

I have them all!!! Lol!

Heart condition,taking photosensitive medicine, reduced circulation, bruise easily, have muscoskeletal disorders, numbness of hands and feet!!

I don't feel inclined to ring up my GP and waste his time asking if I'm able to wear a Fitbit!! 😳

Any thoughts anyone?
