I'm trying to figure out how to render a graph inline, but its more complicated

I have atrial fibrillation (AF) and a few years ago I built a system to monitor my own heart rate using grafana. I can strongly recommend it. I used influxdb to store the raw data.

Any chance you can share more (post, github, etc)?

Regretfully it's not in any state to share. But basically it was:

- simple Android app capture heart rate data over bluetooth from a polar chest band

- send the data up to a server and pipe it into influxdb database

- display using grafana

It was very useful to show when I was having an episode. I tried all sorts of things to identify the triggers, in the end it turned out to be alcohol (duh!).

Nice investigative work. The best advocate for ones health is... yourself! I hear that a lot and it's definitely true.
