I have a resting heart rate of 51, exercise regularly around 5-6 times a week. Yesterday my max heart rate went up to 202 in a high intensity class. It did come back down to around 175 quite quick. However when I view my heart rate for the day it says my max heart rate was 168. This is more what I would expect as 202 is worrying me. Should I be getting checked out at the dr or is it a glitch?

As you can see above the max HR differs hugely.... if it really was 202 I think I need to see a dr.... check d blood pressure today and it's normal....

IMO and experience. The heart rate monitoring on the Surge is an absolute waste of time. I've noticed inaccuracies of up to 30 BPM in some circumstances. Pathetic!

 Hi there @Pebbles72! Nice to see you around again!  I've noticed you are new around @jdidds, so let me give you a warm welcome to our Community, thanks for jumping in! Cat Happy

 

Thanks for the information and the pictures. Is this the first time that you have this readings? It looks like your Surge is not getting correct information. Why don't you restart your Surge. Check these tips to improve accuracy.
