Fit bit is not: always highly accurate. Panic attacks are not always associated with tachycardia. It sounds like you might benefit from a thorough evaluation to discuss your concerns and symptoms. Make an appointment with a health care provider soon to do this.

A member asked:

During a panic attack is it ok for my heart rate to be high Sometimes I go up to 140-160 on my fitbit but today I actually checked it on my pulse ox and it was 176. It freaked me out even more.. it slowly came down as I calmed down. Can this kill me?

A member asked:

I had a panic attack at 3 am which woke me out of my sleep. My heartrate was 167 BPM and my heart felt funny. I was able to calm myself down but the entire day yesterday, my heatrate was 120-135 while waitressing. I'm worried. What could it be?

A member asked:

Most days when I stand, my heart goes up to about 90 - 95 the slows after a few mins. A day after panic attack it beats about 70 - 72 bpm standing and feels more forceful and uncomfortable. Sometimes I feel light and unsteady. Why does this happen?
