Are the sudden fluctuations up or down 10 bmp artifact, or could this be indicative of some kind of health problem?

Hello @Joot and welcome to the Community.  I've never been concerned about my "up" spikes.  I figured they were artifact from rolling over while I sleep.  But this site really isn't a place to get health advice.  If you are concerned, then I think you should contact your healthcare provider.

Take a look at the Fitbit help site for further assistance and information.

Thanks. I wasn’t asking for any kind of health advice. I’m asking whether people think the device output is real or not.

Have a look at the YouTube channel "Quantified Scientist", there's a lot of testing done on Fitbit devices.
