Health Matters

The Samsung kit has always been a problem. The watch is not really up to monitoring my own heart problem although the recorded data has up until now been very helpful even if the nannying is totally off. Up until the 27/6/2025 I could rely on the HRV values to give me an indication as to which mode my heart had been in over night. A morning 30BPM indicates the messy mode with a high HRV and broad spread of pulse rate over night. A 50+BPM was a good indication that there was a sinus rhythm and…

After some weeks of messy heart rhythm I'm actually back in something approaching sinus and pulse rate has crept up a little. So it was something of a surprise when I finally collected my meds today ( should have been Friday :( ) that I had an extra one. The Bisoprolol Fumarate, which is designed to reduce pulse rate, had been added back in. Given that the last time I was on it I had problems where a ambulances had been called a few times, I don't think I will be taking it and the pap…

I had posted an update a couple of days ago, but due to distractions caused by other technology not working I failed to save it and can't even remember just what was in that post.

The main part was the failure of the Samsung Watch4 to record that I HAD been asleep in the previous nights and it's nannying that I needed to wear it at night ... which I had been! The problem I think I have is that my heart rate is too low normally for the watch to accurately use it to monitor sl…

Since switching the morning exercises from the knee routine, to a more general combination of knee and heart exercises I've actually been seeing sinus rhythm in the morning. Something that has not happened for a long time. I've an appointment to see the latest physio at the doctor's surgery tomorrow when hopefully we can sort a tidier daily routine of exercises.

Last Thursday I had a phone call from the hospital offering me an appointment the next day which of cause I gr…

Well after 10 days of a clean sinus rhythm I'm back to the messy one and the watch is struggling with misinformation on my 'stress levels'. Perhaps the only thing that is stressing me is the way none of these 'Artificial Intelligence' tools have no intelligence at all. The main problem is that the Samsung tools have no idea of other reasons for a high HRV and try to fix a high one to what it has been 'trained on'. I'm still not experiencing any problem symptoms…
