HRV collapsed

Hi

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

    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. I’m going on close to 30 days of every day below range.  It sticks because all of the other metrics that use HRV are useless now.

    not sure if the previous higher than usual HRV was a software bug in a previous build, Mine has always been around 30, when I updated from fenix 6 Pro to 8 it rose quite quickly, I was working out harder and it's a new sensor, so I figured..

    it dropped overnight after 15.51 (I also started using 7 day steroid cream) to what it was with the fenix 6 and it's stayed there ever since so my training has been trained for over a month, just waiting for the grey line to catch up, this has nothing to do with health.
