CHANGES OF HEART RATE BPM ON FITBIT WITH BIPOLAR DISORDER.

We are in an era of technology where we have the Fitbit which can monitor the heart rate during rest and during exercise. I have noticed my family members device has been fluctuating quite a lot during this last episode of Bipolar. The HR during rest was high during mania and extremely low during depression. Has anyone else noticed this???

Re: CHANGES OF HEART RATE BPM ON FITBIT WITH BIPOLAR DISORDER.

hi @Chlova im not sure about bipolar and heart rates but know that any anxiety can increase it even if they don't look nervous externally. so many other factors too, if your overly worried then id suggest to speak with your or family members gp about what might help ease the heightened heart rate or if its something to be concerned about.
