Heart rate boost

[KateS10]

Hi !!! So I was just sitting on my couch , laying down with my daughter and I as checking my fit bit as I do usually and my heart rate was like 68 , then literally out of blue a few mins later it jumps to 130! I don’t get why it would just bounce around like that . Of course I got worried and got up and walked around and tried to call myself. It went back down ... but I do find that my heart rate jumps around a lot !!!! Just looking for any advice ..

Dear Kate,

I am sorry to hear this happened to you, i can completely understand that this must have been frightening for you.

We would suggest that the best thing to do is to keep a diary of all episodes like this that happened along with anything you ate, drank and did before to try and identify your triggers.

It is also a good idea to see your doctor and ask to have a wearable heart monitor to try and capture these episodes.

I do hope this helps,

Best wishes,

Charlene
