| I'm anxious about using a heart rate monitor during one of my college classes next week. I'm thinking of skipping it if it could be dangerous. I don't like the idea of electrodes being tied to my chest, I actually had this done when I joined a gym last year, they strapped it to my chest, while the instructor wore the watch, but now I am frightened by the idea that electrical signals are being send to my heart to monitor how fast it is beating. Are heart rate monitors completely safe? Or can those electrical signals damage or throw off the heart in any way? |

| they are completely safe - they monitor does exactly that - it monitors your heart rate - there is no electrical current passing through your heart - |

| It is a simple device for monitoring your heart rate, not some devilish machine that is going to turn you into a zombie, so loosen up and just go with it, if there was any risk with them, they would have thrown them out of hospitals years ago. |
