Pulse rate monitor/alert device

I'm suffering side effects from something about which I will not go into detail since it's a controversial issue. I will say that I had normal resting pulse/heart rate until the issue was caused after I was given a "medical" injection. That evening as I was home lying in bed my RESTING PULSE RATE was 108 (normally it's 60-65). My heart was beating so strongly the cell phone I had on my chest was bouncing. I have other side effects (joint pain, etc.) but the coronary problems are my biggest concern since we have so many "died suddenly" events occurring but apparently nobody can figure out the cause. Now about 2 weeks later my resting pulse has dropped to about 70-75 but as soon as I begin moving my pulse spikes, sometimes as high as 160bpm which is nowhere close to normal. My moving (walking) pulse rate used to be 70-80. I bought a well known, popular wrist monitor because it advertised pulse rate alerts/tachycardia, etc.. That was my mistake. It only alerts for heart issues after the wearer has been idle for 10 minutes. Does anyone know of a reputable wrist device that does not cost $250, as this one did, and actually is useful for coronary alerts? Also this one has a very mild vibration mode, barely noticeable, so I'd prefer something that can be felt or even w. an audio alert in conjunction w. wrist vibration. Thanks in advance.

    I strongly recommend you contact the "doctor" that gave you this "medical" injection. He will be the best person to get advice from about any heart issues.

    ETA: if, by chance, you did not get this "medical" injection from a doctor, please contact one.

    Thank you for the response. Unfortunately the issue is due to something which apparently is happening in many hospitals but is not being addressed. Based on what I've discovered via research, including asking multiple medics it's a very common issue now but again is not being addressed/reported. And sadly there's also supposedly no known resolution yet. My need is to find something that will warn me so I don't join the rapidly growing "died suddenly" crowd.

    I would ask them what they recommend. As someone who has dealt with very elevated heart rates, I could tell when my heat was out of control. There wasn't a "huh, I wonder?" It was like.... Jesus, I think I might die... things are starting to go grey". The reality is, if you're looking for a device that's going to alert you if your heart stop.... well, once your heart stops you're already unconscious.

    I'm not sure what you mean by a "medical" in inverted commas injection

    but see your doctor.

    The symptoms may be related to the injection or may not. It may have happened after the injection but that is not neccesarily cause and effect

    But seeing a doctor and getting a through examination, tests, referrals etc if neccesary is the way to go, not using amatuer warning devices or seeking quasi-medical advice on a forum

    I dont believe there is any rapidly growing 'die suddenly' crowd or any cover ups happening - that's sounds conspiracy theory stuff to me.

    Talk to the doctor, but also keep an open mind about other options. For example POTs has been on the rise with people who have long covid, just as an example.

    I see a lot of people in my life who get really anxious about the slightest physical symptoms and then their body reacts to that. I know when I start thinking about any worrying thing my heart rate goes up a lot, too.

    It does sound rather conspiracy theory territory...but trying to calm yourself can only be a good thing. Stay off news sites and social media if you're reading a bunch of stuff about this alleged "dying suddenly" stuff. The internet is full of lies and there is no way to know what's real on social media (and even some news sites.)

    If there is some side effect from a legal injection then the medical community is aware of it, they're not gaslighting you. Surely if it's spiking to a concerning level then there is some treatment for it.

    further to Pav's advice - be honest with your doctor too.

    I am not sure what "medical" means - but i n case it is some not Dr prescribed or approved thing, tell them what you have had

    not in a blaming it way but in a full disclosure way

    First I thought you were referring to a Naloxone injection for opioid overdose and "medical" was in quotes because you had a Pup Fiction / Uma Thurman overdose situation.

    Then I realized it's more likely you got the COVID vaccine and are now regretting it.

    Please stop "doing your own research" and see a cardiologist. And do use Pav's suggestion:

    I am not in the medical field, though people who ARE have already answered you above. But basic logic is logic and it applies to our lives most of the time.

    If you are experiencing a vaccine side effect, an un-related mechanical or electrical issue, or if your anxiety about your situation is causing your heart rate to spike, in ALL of these cases, seeing a doctor, getting examined and, if warranted, getting some tests and imaging done may save your life. But getting a device that beeps probably won't do much. I mean maximum heart rates tend to be self limiting anyway and it's unlikely if your thudding ticker and pounding blood will be un-noticed. And if you haven't noticed... why set an alert to worry about it?

    BUT I DO HAVE A SOLUTION for you, If you're convinced that your doctor may be hiding the truth. DON'T SHARE your theory about why your heart rate is misbehaving. Just give them the symptoms you're experiencing, leave out your theories as to why, and see where an examination of your symptoms takes things.

    I've experienced at close proximity during multiple emergency visits over a period of weeks the real physiological manifestation of googling symptoms. Had I not seen it I wouldn't have believed it. The mind is powerful.

    oh right, I was thinking of illegal steroid type injections.

    Hard to answer questions with vague information

    anyway, whatever the injection was, see your Dr, full disclosure, and take it from there.

    You're looking for medical-grade accuracy at a consumer-device price point. I don't think that's realistic.

    I agree with others: See a doctor . . . a new one, if that helps you feel better about it. Don't explain your theory, just present your symptoms, get the tests, see what those say. I don't know where you are, but here I can get full copies of any test results in case I want to review them myself. See how the doctor interprets the results, see what s/he suggests. If you don't like what s/he recommends, you don't have to follow the advice. Ideally, suspend your preconceptions until you get all the way through the diagnosis and treatment proposal.

    If it was a vaccine of some sorts it is normal for your heart rate to increase a bit the evening of the event, you might also get low grade fever. As for your following heart rate symptoms - it sounds like POTS. Which might not be related to the injection even though it might seem like it. I have POTS diagnosis by the way.
