Does this resting heartbeat bitmap indicate a problem?...

Gang, I would think a "resting heart beat rate" would pretty much remain steady.  Now that I've had the Blaze for a couple of weeks.... this looks odd.  What's up with this?....

 

Something wrong with my ticker?..

 

Is this a problem?Is this a problem?

 

Thanks for the read - Mark

Hello @changed forever, I'm not sure what the problem is that you think your seeing, but if you are looking for medical advice then I would suggest going to someone with a degree in the medical field. Not the community of Fitbit users.

@SunsetRunnerThis is a logical question... Are you wearing the Blaze while asleep, because this is vital to create an accurate RHR. Otherwise it will examine your period of rest while you are awake and establish the RHR from there.

 

This link will help and the Mayo Clinic state that 60-100 bpm depending on the person and conditions..

 

Here is mine over the last 2 months and shows how Summer temperature can affect my RHR.  I have a variance of 6 bpm and yours is 8 bpm.  The first 14 days of Autumn were hot with "sleep on top of the blankets" at night..hence the higher RHR...

 

When the RHR gets a sawtooth graph for me it's normally a warning of impending colds, sore throats or high outside temperatures. When I had my hip replaced my RHR jumped to 74 and took a month to get back to a reasonable figure..  You will find the Blaze is an amazing device at the low levels of HR for warning you of impending issues..  Provided you wear it while asleep.  My RHR normally is around 51 bpm and gets down to 42 bpm at night, with me it's genetic and passed by the cardiologists..

 

But as always I would check with your doctor.

I agree with Colin.  Your resting heart rate does fluctuate based on weather, diet, activity, stress... but if you feel it is questionable...definitely see a medical specialist.  

Mine can be weird too at times.  I find my RHR spikes up and down when I eat a donut or when I have very minimal sleep or stressful work days.  How has it been acting in the last few days?
