  DrDan: Yep, very very common ... due to poor contact ... due to not being sweaty enough.

  paul the builder: James is unlikely to be right, although I guess it's possible. You'd have a medical condition in that case, I think.
  
  El bee's "movement artefact" is what the rest of us call poor contact.
  
  I can normally avoid them from making sure strap is tight enough, use loads of spit on contacts before starting, and not wearing 2 loose layers. But I still get the odd one.
