Why is my resting heart rate high?

[NicoleandEli]

So my resting heart rate the last few weeks has been in the 78 range on average. The thing is, I've been exercising 6 days a week and Ive been losing about a pound a week. When I wasn't exercising a few months back my resting heart rate was lower (around the 62-70 range) which is weird because it showed me as more "fit". Now that I'm exercising it has put me in the "fair" category instead of "good". Has this happened to anyone else? I'm 27 years old, 5'2, and currently 137lbs. Thankyou 🙂

@NicoleandEli welcome to our Fitbit Community! I'm happy to assist you with your Fitbit Versa since it's not tracking your heart rate accurately.

I'd like you to try the troubleshooting steps that are listed in this help article. You can skip the first part since you already have the heart rate feature enabled and proceed with the rest. After this, monitor your heart rate for the next 24 hours and see if the issue gets fixed.

Keep me posted on the outcome!
