Does Sense 2 capture ECG data while exercising?

[KeithM99]

Hi all, Is anyone using the Sense 2 to capture an ECG while exercising (heart rate is above 120) and you are standing? Sitting and below 120 is not when I am experiencing a heart rhythm issue that we would like to capture more data on.

Hello @KeithM99 and welcome to the Community.  The ECG app can only report one of three results: normal sinus rhythm, atrial fibrillation, and inconclusive.  It can't report any other heart rhythm disturbances.  It can't assess a rhythm when your heart rate is over 120 bpm and will report it as inconclusive.  Too much movement causes "noise" and also makes the ECG unreadable.  ECG app

If you think you are experiencing a heart rhytm issue, you should contact a doctor.

I have had my Fitbit detect AFib however it does not give  the wave chart that a doctor would prefer to have like a regular EKG. It only gives you numbers and a timeframe of when the AFib was detected. I was looking at Apple Watch which does appear to give the wave graph granted it’s really only one sensor whereas when you go for EKG; you have about a half dozen of those things pasted to you. I am wondering why Fitbit does not show a wave graph the way apple does.

I can add that when you have AFib with Fitbit you can absolutely be standing or walking and Fitbit will show an outrageously hire pulse like 120 when I’m just sitting at my computer desk. If you have the irregular notifications on Fitbit will also track that and you can see a report stating the time it was detecting AFib. but at that point who really knows what your pulse is the top part of your heart is beating much faster or fluttering while the bottom part is pumping normally. My point is at that point who knows what your pulse actually is but that’s a fib.
