Hi
This is Dr.Ram
Ya your pulse and heart rate can vary from time to time depending upon the kind of work you do.
If your heart rate or pulse rate can range from anywhere between 60 to 100 beats per minute .
So need no worry about that.
The instrument you describing is likely to be used in assessing your lungs .
According to me it must be a spirometer to assess your lung functioning .
Thank you
