Does it record maximum pulse and length it was at max?

I have a medical issue recently where my heart rate jumps up occasionally during my sleep to 110-130. Then this wakes me up and my heart rate goes back to normal. My cardiologist and other doctors can't figure out what is going on. I recently had a sleep study and have mild sleep apnea and put on a CPAP machine. This fixed some anxiety/panic attacks during the day. But at night, I still have some type of issue where my pulse starts racing from 100-130bpm at times.

I was hoping that the FitBit would record accurate enough data to see how long my pulse was in this zone of 110-130. But the chart only says that at 3:30am-3:35am last night, my average pulse was 81bpm. But when I looked at my watch when i woke up, my pulse was 110bpm. Then it gradually went down to normal for a few minutes.

Is there any way to see the maximum pulse that occurred during the night, and the length of it, instead of just seeing an average?

Hi, @WarpedTrekker, you can get a closer idea of what you want by putting your Blaze in workout mode, although it will use significant battery.  Create a custom activity called "sleeping" (or whatever you like).  Then when you go to bed start a "workout" on your Blaze using the multisport mode.  When it syncs you can rename your workout to your custom name (sleeping or whatever) and you can check your HR record.

In regular mode the HR is sampled every 5 seconds and averaged over 5 minute periods.  In exercise mode it is sampled every 1 second and averaged over 1 minute intervals.  

Obviously, it is important to remember that your Fitbit is not a medical device.

I hope this helps.  Welcome to the Community!

Thanks,Will try that. As long as I can have it last about 3 hours of
recording, it should be long enough.
