Heart rate : This could be an equipment issue. A way to check that is to count your pulse at the rest, over the radial artery or the front part of your neck over the carotid artery for 15 seconds. That number multiplied by 4 will give you your heart rate per minute to see if it is truly elevated consistently. You can take this data to your doctor if there is a question. Resting heart rate range 60-85.
