I’m in Manitoba Canada. 51 years old with heart failure.  I have a left bundle branch block and ejection fraction 2”%. I’m trying to find a device to monitor heart rate, blood pressure, arythmias.  Are there any ?

Hello Alicia, my name is Bruce Atkinson (baatkinson98@gmail.com), I am 70, and have Stage 4 COPD, and have had over 10 lung collapses.  I use the Fitbit Ionic.  I live in Merced, California. You asked for devices to help monitor your heart and I could suggest two that might satisfy your needs.One is the AliveCo KardiaMobile Personal EKG Device, and can be purchased from Amazon for $89. And the Omnron BP8000-M Heart Guide smart watch, which is sold by Omron for $499. See images attached.

Hello Community,

Where in the world are you? I am in San Clemente, CA a few blocks from the beautiful Pacific Ocean.  This is a crazy beach town with year round tourists.  The nightlife is almost as exciting as the water.

What is your current health/fitness goal?  My current goal is to lose weight and get more healthy.  I need outside inspiration.  How do you like to stay fit?  I stay fit by walking along the beach trail every day. Surfing is fun any time of year. The beach never gets boring and every day there is something different to see. What motivates you?  My motivation is family and the pair of jeans in the closet that is too small!  Favorite guilty pleasure?  I LOVE ICE CREAM!!  Peace out.San Clemente Pier

Hi !

I am a Fitbit user since 2014.

I am based out of Dubai, UAE.

Weekly challenges like workweek hustle keep me motivated.

I try to to 10 K steps on a lazy day, average about 20 K steps/day

I assume that folks will read this.  My family and I have been loyal Fitbit customers for many years and would like to keep this going.  However, in the past two years, we have had nothing but trouble with our devices.  My 1st Versa died within 6 months of purchase, battery would no longer hold charge.  The replacement Versa seems to be holding up, for now.  I purchased my wife a Charge 3 for Mother's Day last year and have been fighting a blank screen issue for months.  Very frustrating to say the least.  We purchased my son a Versa Lite for Christmas this past year and already he has noticed issues with the device.  Some of the functions/features will not work properly or not at all.  I am in the process of trying to have the Charge 3 warrantied, but they want me to go through steps that will not fix the issue.  Once these devices reach the end of their lives, which will be shortly, we will most likely move to another platform.  This is unfortunate, because we enjoy the devices and what they are capable of.  Sorry for the long rant on probably the wrong page.
