Gjensen you sound like a level headed person. I appreciate your comment. I agree with your comment about it being a tool.I wore mine continuously.. Stairs not good, shoveling snow. Not good. Even position changes and the kids driving me was interesting to note the heart rate changes. I'm better off at work without it. I work along with docs and nurses. So I guess that's the safest place to be... Even though they aren't cardiologists
