Pulse Ring
It's amazing to me, how the once-bulky — and pricey — chest strap + wrist apparatus has now been taken down to ring size affordable by the woman or man on the street.
From the website:
- Heart Monitor Ring
Heart monitor ring tracks heart rate during exercise and daily routines.
Not bulky like oversized arm monitors.
FDA-approved unit features stopwatch, continuous heart rate display (30-250 beats per minute), a maximum/minimum heart rate target zone and ten hour count-up timer.
Battery included.
Plastic and metal.
2" x 1-1/4" x 2".
So great: next time you have to give a presentation you can quantitate just how badly you're freaking out.

I'll take it--'cause its a lot better than those stupid pager monitors cardiologists make you wear.

Yeah, what Skipweasel said. Having haid various and sundry (and often terrifying) episodes of constant PVCs and PAT and occasional V-tach and all that other colorful heart jargon stuff since my late twenties, the last thing I'd want to do is keep a constant check on the damn thing. Just thinking about it, it speeds up. And having taken propranolol since then, unsuspecting folks who take my pulse for whatever reason usually freak a little, since it's usually around 42. But then I never made any claims about being normal.

What's so hard about counting one's pulse? Oh, I forgot, most of you don't have fistulas with resounding pulses and have to feel for your pulse in your wrist. So sad. :).

I wonder how much worrying about your heart-rate puts up your heart-rate.
