#visible app

This shit is how I know my period is coming and is preparing to burn my body to the ground. I am lying flat on my back with my legs elevated above my heart and the lowest I can get my heart rate right now is 103.

The menstrual cycle is such a fucker for MCAS.

Does anyone who uses or has tried the Visible health app with the band and subscription think its worth it?

I'm considering getting it now that they have moved to a wrist bad because I am too fat for the arm band to work. Honestly I'm not sure the wrist band will fit but I'll do some measuring or see if the arm band will work on my lower arm

But I'm wary of sinking money into this if its not worth it

I hate hate hate that for the Visible app, you can't just view prices on their website. You have to take a quiz to see the prices. Plus the monthly or yearly subscription is a lot.

I think I'm better off saving up for an Apple Watch and trading in my current Samsung for an older model iPhone. I mostly just need the heart rate tracking anyways and I've heard that Tachymon is good for POTS and Dysautonomia.

Also once I have everything paid off, I would only have to pay $20 a month for my phone line, not that plus the subscription for the Visible app. It just unfortunately feels like a bad investment for me. Plus I want to see my heart rate on my wrist and not have to be attached to my phone even more than I am.

I have a better app to track my heart rate and keep track of my other medical issues.

If you ever wanted to track your health but need something tailored for actual medical issues and not through a fitness-based app, Visible is a good choice. If you don't have the armband to track bpm, you're able to put your finger on one of your phone cameras and it will measure it that way. (I have the arm band).

This also isn't sponsored, I just felt like sharing.

Hahahahaha! Well... fuck

For context, I'm still in bed. Been awake for half an hour.

Hey y'all! I've been using Visible for a while now, and I've noticed an issue I'm wondering if other people encounter. Sometimes, when my heart rate jumps abruptly (like if I stand up) my heart rate as measured on the app will instead drop, usually to 60. It's visible on the graph over time, too, where I'll have sudden dips in heart rate, according to the graph, that are actually sharp rises in heart rate that it's registering wrong. Sometimes even if it isn't a sharp rise in heart rate, just a high heart rate, it won't register it correctly. Like, I took my blood pressure and the blood pressure cuff said my heart rate was 157 bpm at the same time the visible app was saying it was 62 bpm. I also have trouble with pulse oximeters sometimes, and I can't tell if this is a like "Visible has trouble with this in general" issue or a "my specific combo of health issues confuses optical heart rate sensors" issue

No. Don't you do it. Brain fog you jump back down right now. Bad boy.
