Do bluetooth heart rate monitors cause cancer risk?
7 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Probably not.: This is perhaps the most complete answer on electromagnetic energy (cell phones in this case) and cancer. In short, we cannot say yes for sure, but we have not seen a spike in cancer that seems to depend on bluetooth...So if it does, it is subtle. http://www.cancer.gov/cancertopics/factsheet/risk/cellphones.

Not really: I would not worry at all about bluetooth monitors causing cancer.

What would cause your heart rate to suddenly drop on a watch monitor to 46 and then go back up to being in the 80s. Not while exercising. I felt like it was skipping beats a little. Im 12 weeks pregnant.
