will it monitor sleep apnea symptoms, heart rate. null

The Fitbit Flex doesn't monitor heart rate you'd have to upgrade and get the Fitbit Charge HR or the Fitbit Surge. This band will monitor your sleep. You tell it when you go to bed and then it tracks when you are restless or awake based your movements.

It only knows if your wrist moves. You will need to get a higher up fitbit to monitor heart rate. They say +HR in the name of the product.

It records your sleep, restlessness, and time to fall asleep. Not sure if that identifies sleep apnea.

All this tracker monitors is movement while you are sleeping you will have to upgrade to the Charge HR to get heart rate monitoring.

This model does monitor sleep, but does not monitor your heart rate or sleep apnea symptoms. There is an HR model that is a little more expensive and will monitor HR but none of them will monitor the sleep apnea. You will need to see a sleep doctor for a sleep study to determine apnea symptoms/severity, etc.

I have a sleep disorder and it pretty accurately tracks your sleep quality, it doesn't have a heart rate monitor. FitBit does make the Charge HR which tracks your heart rate and sleep quality, it may be more of what you're looking for.

No. It doesn't measure heart rate or breathing patterns.

Flex sleep function monitors requires you to turn on (when you get into bed) and off (when you get up) sleep function. Device tracks when you fell asleep, when you were awake (by minutes and time of day) and went you have "restless" sleep.

It monitors your sleep patterns but not your heart rate. The newer versions might do that.

It will show sleep disturbances or restless sleep which I'm sure is associated with sleep apnea but I'm pretty sure that's about all you will see. It monitors through movement but I think that's it so really won't show anything about heart rate. I know the newer fitbit monitors all that stuff including heart rate because my wife has that one also.

No it will not, hwowever what do i know, I'm not a doctor. I am a bed man.
