Heart rate often in fat burn with normal activities or anxiety

[katersmc]

I just got a versa but had been using the Charge 2 before that. I am unfortunately going through a rather bad spell of anxiety and find myself checking my heart rate more frequently. I am noticing that I am often in fat burn when doing normal activities like walking from one place to another at my building at work or when I do get moments of anxiety. Should I be concerned about this? Is it going to throw of my other numbers?

Welcome to the Forums @katersmc.

I'll be happy to answer your questions.

Given that you have mentioned that you're experiencing anxiety, that would definitely explained the HR level. It is important to mention that if your HR is indeed at that level then it wouldn't truly throw your numbers off in the sense that your body would be burning the amount of calories being calculated. Having said that, it would be up to what you consider throwing your numbers off.

Hope this clarifies the situation. Let me know if you have any further questions.
