I just received my heart monitor in the mail a few days ago and had to opportunity to wear it to work today...It is a timex that I wear on my wrist.
On purpose I stood in the same area so I could get an accurate reading. I had been standing in the same spot for about 6 minutes when I started to get that incredible "hot" all over feeling. I looked at my arm and noticed the skin was very red so I knew it was time to check the watch. I could also feel my face flushing.
My rate was 164! I hadn't been doing really anything except straightening the product on the shelves but I made sure not to walk and to stay in the same place. I was actually shocked at the reading. Tomorrow I will be able to check more frequently than today. I have known for a couple years that something definately was going on especially when at work because of these hot flash episodes and becoming extremely tired while at work and feel even worse when I get home.
I am going to buy some better compression stockings to wear and see if that helps. I see the doctor on the 29th so will try and have a little notebook of some of the readings.
Not sure if this means anything but at least I will have something to tell the doctor about...
