A member asked:
Will a fitbit charge hr be good to keep track of arythmias ? is it possiable that it can actually cause them to be worse due to ele current on wrist ?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Neither: Fitbit Charge HR is designed to assist in helping one keep track of personal health goals. It is not a medical device, nor can it cause an arrhythmia .

I suspect I have a arrhythmia disorder. However the ecgs are not catching these. Because they can't catch them I can't get a monitor or cardiologist to track these. What can I do?
