Fitbit says my heart rate is 120 while sitting. Should I be worried? Read below

Question

Since 1pm today I have been on and off my feet moving and doing hard work. I moved my king size bed by myself and was just cleaning but moved everything out of my room. It is now 9 my time and my Fitbit either ranges from mid 90s to 120 while I’m sitting or laying down. I’m not normally this active and feel as if my body isn’t used to it. I’m also hypothyroid and severely out of shape and have a high BMI. I woke up feeling a bit out of it and achy this morning. Haven’t had much water but working on drinking more. Is there a chance it’s not accurate or if it is, should I be worried?

Answer

Doesn’t sound good that that number is your resting heart rate. Normal is 60 if you are very active as low as 40. Even 75 is still ok. But 120 does not sound good. Rest a bit. Hydrate. Try some deep breathing. If things don’t get better I would get checked out. Are you in any pain or discomfort or wheezing or having any difficulties breathing. If you are experiencing any of the above o would get checked out. It may be that you were being active and it just has. Come down yet?  See if it gets better. I hope it does.

Answer

Fitbits glitch sometimes and arent always 100% accurate. Mine said my sitting heart rate was 160 once. I told my grandpa (paramedic) and he told me how to tell what your heart rate is and it was normal. I wouldnt really trust then with my heartrate. It's almost never right.
