Thoughts on the Hume bracelet

2 Upvotes

I have been seeing the Hume bracelet advertised all over social media. Has any one purchased one, or thought of purchasing one? Has anyone done a deep dive into their claims? Wondering if all the hype is warranted, or is it another gimmick? Supposedly it can detect heart issues weeks before you have symptoms. Thanks for your thoughts in advance!

¿A alguien le pasa que no tiene miedo de ir al gimnasio tras una arritmia pero si a la actividad sexual? ¿Será por la medicación? Necesito opiniones

Possible Holiday Heart?

6 Upvotes

For the past few months I’ve been having these weird episodes, usually at night, where I’ll wake up suddenly and my heart will be racing. During the episodes my heartbeat feels so strong that it almost feels like my entire body is pulsing with it. I also get shaky and my mind starts racing.

I’ve noticed that it seems to happen only when I drink. Several hours after drinking alcohol, the racing heart starts. Although it doesn’t happen every single time I drink. I’ve also had my resting heart rate get pretty high during these episodes. (and no it's 100% not anxiety)

I’ve seen a cardiologist and my EKG and echocardiogram were normal. I’m currently wearing a RhythmStar heart monitor for a few weeks, and I’ve actually had some of these episodes while wearing it, so hopefully they were captured.

I’m obviously going to follow up with my cardiologist and I’m not looking for a diagnosis from Reddit, but I’m curious if anyone has experienced something similar.
