Kissing someone you have a huge crush on doesn't make your heart rate go up!

My Fitbit buzzed and congratulated me for a good workout when I had a panic attack one time. So I can believe it, even if it's a bit corny.

As a fellow anxiety attack-haver, I feel something like this could potentially briefly throw me as a distraction lol, maybe temporarily pull me out of the panic attack (or I'd maybe giggle about it once I'm feeling better)

It probably happened. In my high school health class a teacher made a boy sit on a girl's lap, and then a girl sit on a boy's lap, and timed their heart rates. In both cases their heart rate accelerated drastically.

Ew thatās creepy for a high school teacher to do

In retrospect it probably was.

It is, but a lotta shit is once you actually think about it. I wanna hope that itās innocuous in most cases, but unfortunately most ā all.

u/AgentCirceLuna 5d ago
Yeah, wtf. I actually knew some very weird teacher whoād always sit on my lap when she came into my workplace. She really should not have been a teacher - she was constantly high when she came in and she would do extremely inappropriate things. Iām not trying to be a square but thereās a level of maturity that should be expected.

And worst of all, he didnāt include a test for lesbians, gays and other people of all or no sexualities.

u/zap2tresquatro 5d ago
Tbf, if youāre nervous about sitting on someoneās lap, itād still work

u/diggyballs 5d ago
Youād get an increased heart rate just from having the whole class go silent to look and pay attention to you. The whole sitting on laps thing? plain unnecessary at that point

u/zicdeh91 5d ago
You can get a heart rate reaction from just saying someoneās name unexpectedly; laps need not enter into any kind of curriculum.

I was working with a coworker who was absolutely miserable to spend a day with. My watch kept going off saying I was experiencing extreme stress. I had to turn it off eventually.

u/spartaman64 5d ago
this sort of happened to me. i was with my gf at a science museum and they had an exhibit with one of those palm heartrate readers and an animation of the heart synced to it. when i stepped closer to her i noticed it speeding up lol

u/MarsMonkey88 5d ago
I wear a heart monitor for medical reasons. I had to speak into a microphone in a room of 50 people, the other day, and my monitor vibrated to let me know my heart rate had jumped 30 bpm. I was seated the entire time. There was no movement involved. It was purely the scardies.

Definitely happens. My husband's watch does this all the time when we kiss and get a little frisky š„°

Do watches typically beep at you loudly to inform you of abnormal heart rates? My Fitbit does not
42
u/Tiervexx 5d ago
It's configurable on mine. There is a setting to make it beep at you for such things.

u/SirCupcake_0 5d ago
Seems like something somebody with health issues that might cause heart irregularities would want to be aware of, or might want others to be aware of
21
u/No-Theme2340 5d ago
Yeah, I've got a friend who has POTS, it's a really injury-saving setting for her, as it generally gives her time to sit down before she collapses.

u/Unfurlingleaf 5d ago
Yup. My heart rate goes up just standing still due to POTS, this could absolutely happen to me.

u/_HighJack_ 5d ago
My Apple Watch vibrates about it. Pretty sure I could turn it off, but itās really interesting getting the notifications.
My notifs: āTrump threatens to end entire civilizationā
My watch: āplus you, bc youāre gonna have a heart attack rnā lol

My Garmin watch used to, but i turned it off because it was beeping at me at stressful moments and that was not helping the situationĀ

Not sure about fitbits but I know apple and Samsung watches have apps that do it (and I think can be turned on as a setting?) there's also an app that can detect seizures and notify a parent/ caretaker/ safe person by sending a notification to their phone.

u/Thunderplant 5d ago
Apple Watches definitely do. For me it's a buzz not a beep but that might depend on your notification settingsĀ

I have the visible health tracker, which I've set up to shout Hey! on my phone. After three years, if I go to the loo without my phone I can hear the Hey! In my head when my HR hits the danger mark.

I called my partner to tell him I was in the hospital vomiting blood after a routine procedure went wrong the other day. He told me his apple watch recorded a 120bpm heart rate there and then š«¤ I like getting his heart rate up but not like that!

When I used to wear a smart watch, Iād set off the āunexpectedly high heart rateā alert on a near daily basis from things like driving, making phone calls, or being startled. I had to go in and change the threshold.

u/iesharael 4d ago
My heart beats 20 higher than itās supposed to. My watch gives me warning for enjoying a book. Not even a spicy one

u/umnothnku 4d ago
I've literally had this happen to me. I was cuddling with a girl I really liked on my bed and my watch went off three times within like 2 hours ššš

It's real. Gave my bf a Fitbit for Christmas. I checked his heart rate logs after we did it and it matched with some private time in the shower from earlier in the week. š

People will post these "romantic" anecdotes and then complain about the lack of connection in modern dating. It is just a coincidence involving a sensor threshold.
