A good result gives and Fitbit, which was written more than once in the Medgadgets blog on Habré. A very interesting story happened to this tracker the other day. And it all started with the fact that the user Reddit YoungPTone decided to ask the advice of knowledgeable comrades on the FitBit branch.
“My wife's fitbit constantly shows a heart rate above average. 2 days ago, on a typical day, she was 10 hours in the “fat burning zone” (Fitbit term), which, I think, is impossible, based on her level of activity. But the calculation of burning calories looks fine ... I'm not sure that the sensor is working properly. Is there a way to reset the settings or re-calibrate the device? I would like to try this before contacting the support service with a request to replace the tracker, ”the user wrote.
Several people began to give advice, but one advice caught the attention of a man. The user Thatwasunpleasant told that she had previously had similar problems with Fitbit, and the cause was a two-month pregnancy.
YoungPTone shared information with his wife, and it turned out that the probability of pregnancy is high. Well, then (probably, after testing the pregnancy test) the following message appeared on Reddit:
That is, everything turned out to be true - the problem was not in the device, the woman, the owner of the Fitbit tracker, turned out to be pregnant. And it influenced the frequency of her heart rate, as well as many other indicators of the body.
By the way, recently Fitbit released its new tracker,
Fitbit Alta . Try it at work - do you have a fast heartbeat? :)
