HRV dropping fast

6276888
over 1 year ago

Since I purchased the forerunner my HRV is dropping like a stone in about 6 weeks or so and I am so confused. 
I have never once been balanced. 

my sleeping 7 day average HRV started out at around 60 for the first week 

Since then the following weeks have been 

58, 55, 53 ,51,49

I also take a snapshot first thing when I wake and that is still staying around the 75 mark and isn’t really decreasing. 

my wife works in cardiology so I asked her to speak with a consultant who has said I shouldn’t be concerned. I’ve recently had a ECG and a halter and I’m in good shape physically. 

im starting to feel that this watch is going to cause me more stress than good . It’s so frustrating as it’s suggesting I have some sort of issue going on. 

Is there any other experiences of this please ?

    Mine is also well into the low area after I had covid last week. It doesn't matter much for me, as I don't really care about the training status.

    Have used the watch for more than a year, and yeah I remembered I have my HRV plummet about last year and took FOREVER for baseline to adjust. (Just checked and that was on May so maybe not the same problem)

    In the last 3 days, my HRV 7 day average also went from month-long balanced, down to unbalanced and now low.

    Average is usually 65, the most recent days are 63 62 59 58 55 54 53

    Guys for those of you who have observed a drop in HRV these past few weeks, has it been accompanied as well with a drop in sleep scores ?

    (I think it would be very hard to have one without the other - although technically possible).

    The funny thing with hrv is: the mouthbreathing isn't necessarily the issue but doing a intervention i.e. by a mouthtape can fix it psychologically :)

    I agree to some extent. I've had this watch for almost a year now and it made me realise a number of things and make lifestyle changes which I believe are highly benegicial to my health.

    But

    It is undeniable that my life before the watch was MUCH simpler LaughingJoy!
