Question

AnaC · Accepted Answer

I have chronic obstructive sleep apnea, do not use a cpap machine and this helps me to know just how many times I am awake and restless and also shows me that when I am over tired I have more episodes of restlessness which is usually due to not breathing right. I love this product.

The fit bit will monitor periods of restlessness at slee . The monitor should not impact pacemaker

I'd consult with your doctor to be sure about this.

It would probably be best to check with his cardiologist!

If you have not gotten him one yet, you should! This will fit in with his weight loss and exercise program, and adds motivation. This will be especially useful now when some time has passed and he may have lost some motivation.

Best to consult your doctor and not trust any advice you get from here :-) The tracker uses Bluetooth only, so it should not interfere with a pacemaker, but talk to your doctor to confirm 100%. Hope this helps.

It can still be useful. It can actually be more rewarding when you are able to track meals exercise and weight!! Best of luck to you and your husband.

Nothing to do with these medical issues. Only measures arm movements. Fun for general idea of activity but not precise enough for medical information

Please check with his doctor first. One does not have to fill all the spots, but he may want to exercise too much.
