Anyone else hitting cardio levels (on Fitbit) when doing simple tasks?

what a great strategy. I wonder if Garmin or Apple Watch can do the same limit setting, I was just diagnosed with Inappropriate Sinus Tachycardia-my heart rate can be above 90 at rest and spikes with activity; I feel like I do 15 sprints in a day-it's exhausting!

I did too. It does get better. I am an athlete and my heart rate and BP used to low.. I know it’s unnerving. What work for me was walking before I could run. I didn’t watch my watch but I paid attention to how I felt. That’s when you have to slow down and that can make you anxious and then your HR has a mind of its own.
I could be talking to someone, doing laundry, the dishes, homework with the kids or even just enjoying myself.
I think I prolonged the experience by paying too much attention to it. Like how often etc.. I’m a nurse so we like to take notes.
When I say Listen to you body that mean take a minute try to relax and pace yourself. That is the hardest part.
You are not crazy and you are not alone. Practicing self care is the fastest way to recover. I have 4 kids and they didn’t quite understand. But rely on the adults around you to reassure you your ok. The. Press On. One foot in front of the other.

Hi! The personal HR limit was determined by my PT and OT. It is calculated as a percentage of resting heart rate I believe. So any fitness band that provides HR in real time will work. 😁
I also use a Polar beat armband when at PT/OT so that they can watch HR on my phone while I perform the tasks they have given me. That way I dont have to keep tapping my watch to provide HR.
