HRV collapsed

Adam 27 days ago

Same day as the update to 15.31 I started taking a strong steroid-antibiotic cream for a leg problem. Since this day my overnight HRV has gone from 50+ to below 30, everything else is fine, sleep quality ETC

So I'm guessing it's the drugs? just thought I'd ask on here in case it's happened to anyone else since the software update.

Thanks

My HRV has been stable since the update. Good luck with the leg!

No abnormal changes for me either, just the usual and explainable variations.

I don't think the drugs are the cause, I think it's more like signs of an infection.

Mine started tanking around 23/24 May, the jury is still out on why.

Well, my leg looks fully recovered (it was anyway the cream was a precaution.

Still my hrv drops 1 point a day it's 23 now.

Wish I didn't worry about these things. I had heart surgery in 2016.

Still heart rate is perfect. ECG and blood pressure spot on too.

Very strange but I have a stressful job I suppose.

Still in the 20s. Vo2 max has gone from good to superior. Can't count steps or floors accurately. No naps , missed hours of sleep.

I'll try another factory reset and go back to my fenix 6 pro .

This wasn't an upgrade

Mine started tanking 2 weeks ago, but I did happen to fracture my tibia around that time

Guys, It's just injury or illness.

I think the only possible non bug explanation for me is that mine went high when I was ill and returned to my normal high twenties when I started recovering / taking meds, this would mean mine went up when I was ill and it's now returned to normal?

I’ve had the same issue. Since the update my HRV has been below my range every single night. Nothing has really changed in my sleep or workouts. I’ve worn a fenix with HRV for a few years now and I’ve never had it be low for more than 2-3 days. It sticks because all of the other metrics that use HRV are useless now.
