I am looking for a heart monitor with an alert. which one is the best? i need it to measure my heart rate all day everyday. thanks.

Really?: You should only wear a heart monitor if your physician prescribes it. ( And if they had prescribed it you would not be asking this question.) Most monitoring is done for a specific purpose and for limited time. Self monitoring of heart is fraught with difficulty and will require evaluation by a doc anyway. Save yourself trouble and see doc first.

Had a Holter monitor that showed that my heart rate dropped to 39 at night, but Holter was shown as normal. I always thought a heart rate that low was bad. In good shape, but don't do much exercise. Heart rate is normal range during day. Any concern?
