Charge 6 - high bpm while sitting? Is this a glitch?

This really freaked me out. While I was sitting down watching YouTube, apparently my heart rate quickly spiked to 212 without me even realizing or feeling it?? I looked at my app later on and noticed it said 212 which is so concerning for an anxious hypochondriac like me. Is this a glitch I’m hoping??

Hi @Mallymay, welcome to  the Fitbit Community! It's great to have you here!

I understand what you are going through with your Charge 6.

The first recommendation I can give you is to check if your device is up to date following this article. Update your Fitbit device

After that please check the article ¨How do I track heart rate with my Fitbit device¨ and there you will find possible reasons of why might be your count of bpm inaccurate.
