A week ago, I noticed my HR was oddly reading 39-41 bpm all day. I waited long enough for it to subside and then I went to Urgent Care. Urgent Care immediately told me to go to ER. ER monitored my HR, Pulse, SP02, EKG and BP for 5 hours. I showed them a video I took of my Garmin while waiting at the ER showing.41 bpm. The ER Doctor showed me on their monitor the correct reading which was 89 bpm.
Doctor concluded that my Garmin exhibited incorrect readings. He said I was experiencing PVCs, and the Garmin could not detect accurately then. I wear my Garmin 24/7 and have not had low pulse alerts until after the last firmware update. Yesterday, I got an alert of 42 bpm. Funny thing is, I was not even wearing the device then. I had just taken it off to take a shower. The worst part is a got a $5,200 ER bill due to my Garmin.
Has anyone else experienced any similar experience(s)?
