But it's not.

I haven't been on the elliptical since my foot injury which happened before I was diagnosed with P.O.T.S. I'd forgotten that I'd assumed that the heart monitor function was broken because the rate would go from 70 to 180 to 40 to 210 to... well you get the idea. Sometimes it's even zero! I'm dead!

Still not sure, but armed with the knowledge that my heart beat is irregular, I asked BJ last night if the heart rate function worked for him. Ummm, yes it does. It goes from lower to higher in regular increments as the workout becomes more strenuous, and then back down again at a regular pace.

Well, well well.... that's what I get for assuming. What a dufus. Next thing you know, I'll be on the next episode of "I didn't know I was pregnant". I really need to investigate things a little more, eh?

I think I might just mention this when I have the follow-up appointment with my cardiologist next Monday. Maybe he'll give me a life-long pass from exercise!
