how accurate is this machine?? is it like the sensors that are on some cardio equipment?? because sometimes those arent very accurate at all...the best way to check your heart rate is to do it yourself...use you radial or carotid pulse...start counting at zero and count for 15 sec., mulitply it by 4 and your have your heart rate, beats per minute (bpm)....

Time to see a doctor bro.....if for no other reason than playing it safe.

Go to the RX and buy an omron cuff BP machine, about 60 bucks. They are extremely accurate for BP and heart rate. If you are still getting high readings, discontinue the cycle and see a doc. You do not want to screw around with this.

If your old enough and have a cool doctor,get some bp meds...that's what I do.

good advice here bro. don't mess around with your heart. if you feel that you are having probs, go see your doc.

i'd just buy a polar monitor and use it when lifting or doing cardio.

you can monitor your heart rate at all times of the day and see what is causing the heavy jumps.

if your resting heart rate is over 100 for the majority of the day then i would seek medical attention, however you might be surprised with what the monitor will show you.

Your almost dead with a resting hr of 40's. That is impressively low. Should be in the 70's-80.
