SOURCE: blood pressure machine does not give heart rate infor

You are spot on. It is a possible indicator for Atrial Fibrillation or AFIB. If you suspect that you have AFIB, you need to get your doctor to prescribe a digixon product, AFIB is very dibilitating and can cause death. Take care and seek help.... Guy

First you need to understand that the Polar system is a medical grade device and it is calculating calories based on specific information that you have inputed and heart rate data from your heart.
Most treadmills and other exercise machines use a much simpler counter that is height and weight based to calculate calories and are generally over generous with their numbers.
Depending on the blood pressure machine you are using, the pulse (not heart rate) is coming through the brachial artery, again not quite as accurate as measuring r-r variance from your heart. There is a ton of literature you can read if you are into the accurateness of the system, but I will sum up with saying that you actual calorie expenditure will be closer on the Polar than on most other devices outside of a hospital. As too the heart rate this is also true, so more likely you are getting inaccurate numbers from the other devices.
If you want pinpoint accuracy then you will need to use the Polar RS800 or S810 devices that measure and display true R-R.
I would go to Polar for a definitive answer but your monitor may not be making a good contact with your body. Therefore the reception of your heart beat is constantly starting over and can't give a reading fast enough. Try adjusting how you wear the monitor and see if it makes a difference. There is a battery in the chest strap also. The new ones have to go to Polar to get replaced unfortunately. That is another possibility.

if you want proper medical advice seek your information from your doctor who knows your history and any medical problems not from a web site from persons unknown
