Ever since last weeks update, my resting heart rate has skyrocketed- by as much as 10 points! No other change in my diet, exercise etc. Could this be due to update? Weird!

@MAZOH I hope you're doing well!

 

Let me help you with your resting heart rate increasing in the last few days. As you mentioned your diet and routine will affect this. Also your sleeping habits will be taken into account. Make sure that you are sleeping for the necessary amount of time. Remember that your resting heart rate will include your awake and sleeping heart rate data. You can read more about this feature here. If you wish you clean the back of your device with cotton and rubbing alcohol and restart it. Turn the heart rate off, save and sync then turn it on save and sync again. Also check these tips to improve the heart rate reading on your device.  

 

Let me know how it goes.

So, then I guess your answer is that the update hasn’t resulted in higher resting heart rates from other Fitbit users? I understand how to impact that number on my end, just wanted to know if update resulted in others reporting a rise. Thank you!
