Impact of asthma on Fitbit readings

I've recently been diagnosed with asthma and I'm wondering what impact this may be having on the accuracy of Fitbit data, such as cardio score or resting heart rate, due to reduced oxygen saturation. Does anyone have experience with this?

Hi @Chardy19,

I've no experience or found anything on the forums here about it. The Fitbit cardio score and RHR is going to look more at your heart rate data (o2 saturation isn't currently part of that analysis). My understanding is that asthma increases your heart rate, which would be reflected in those scores.
