I am having some dizzy spells during workouts. Can I see an anomaly heartbeat in the data?

Mr. Hanson, Unfortunately you cannot. You can see your heart rate but it will not show if it is abnormal. My suggestion, because I too have dizzy spells occasionally during my workouts, is when you start becoming dizzy make a note of what your heart rate is. If it gets too high that could be causing the dizziness. Of course I am no doctor so please be careful.

To answer the question it will show your heart rate up or down. Your dizzy spells need to be checked by a doctor. you may need to do a stress test to see whats the max heart rate for you. JMO i'm no doctor...but you do need to see yours.

Stay still, wrist above heart level. Should be good, mine registers within 1or2 points plus/minus of my norm!

I don't feel the heart rate monitor is accurate or practical. While moving I am unable to get any readout. I would NOT recommend this product to anyone looking for something more than a time piece.

Yes, unless you never move your arms...! The unit strongly picks up arm movement, maybe even above foot movement. It would be useful to pause and check heart rate. That allow unit to figure calorie burn through the day, and particularly during activity.

I noticed something similar, and sometimes I get a reading that is actually 2x or half my actual pulse. Laying down or being very still helps it read your pulses better.

Sorry, if your question related to blood pressure. The Polar WearLink + only registers your heart rate.

I found that the transmitter belt from my Sole treadmill did work although the rate didn't change very frequently. It seemed more of a snapshot rather than continuous monitoring. The lack of info on the heart rate monitor function is rather appalling.

I purchased the unit and added the prescription to monitor my atrial flutter. With the script you can view and download (email) your results. There is a MD module that allows you to view what you need. You will probably just need to email your info for the approval.

Only if u are setting it to keep track. You would have to also periodically check your pulse for a reading. This is strictly used for when you are exercising

Yes. But I'll answer this in a little more detail. It will show your HR continuously. Press (hold for 3 secs) the button below it and it will say START. It will then show the HR continuously until you press the bottom button (hold for 3 secs) again to STOP. Once stopped, you can clear it by pressing and holding the lower button on the right side and it will say Clear in 3, 2, 1. Then it will all return to zero. It will periodically tell you when the HR is within zone or outside of zone. The message appears in the center HR area but then disappears returning to the HR. But does not show zone continuously. It would be nice if it would give a little tone or something to let u know when the in/out of zone appears. But you have to look at the watch a lot to catch it. I don't use this feature tho. If you calculate your hi/low HR zone, all you need do is check the HR periodically. You can see for yourself if HR is out of zone. And if it is out of zone, how much. Sometimes out of zone may be only a few heart beats. In which case you know how much you need to slow down or speed up. But really, if you are monitoring your HR you can see when you are getting close to being out of zone and slow down before you go over the line. Don't need a continuous HR zone alert then. Hope this helps.

Hi Brian, good question. Basis bands detect heart rate in real time on the wrist and show minute averages on your online dashboard. You can track you stress by monitoring your elevated heart rate but the band is not meant to diagnose any health conditions.

I have only had this monitor a short time so I have no idea what will happen later. Nor have I checked it with a doctor. Also, I wouldn't know if the readings were errors! but would probably go in to have my blood pressure read if the readings seemed unusual. After looking at other responses I see that this is about the ERR message. I have only had that once. I am more concerned with the accuracy of the readings.

No , you can only see your workout when you connect it to the computer. Then it shows you how long ur exercise was and the time in the different heart rate zones. U can see graphics and print it but you dont see ur heart rate as you exercise.

Karen, The only thing it claimed to do was measure my pulse. It could only do that if I was sitting quietly. It would never register if I had been working out. It died the day after I got it.

Yes, you can see your single lead EKG recording. The doctor doesn't see it unless you send it by email

I have found it very accurate when compared against other devices like treadmill sensors which you hold on to and even when I compare to a blood pressure monitor.There is a little heart which flashes on the top right so if you hold your other hand to the pulse at your neck you can get confirmation that the heartbeat measured on the watch coincides with the actual heartbeat you are experiencing.

No, only your pulse at the time of the test. Irregular heart beats would come from an EKG test.
