RHR goes up after waking up

tom over 1 year ago

Hello,

I'm wearing my watch while sleeping.

This morning, I checked my RHR just after waking up: 49, then I took my breakfast and started to work from home. After 2 hours, I checked my garmin app and saw that the RHR was 51. This is the third time it happens in the last 2 weeks, and it's not systematic.

This is something new with recent firmwares (it was not doing that before). Current firmware: 19.18

TLDR; RHR goes from 49 to 51 within the same day (I thought it could only decrease)

Where exactly do you look this up?

Sounds quite normal for me. Whilst sleeping your heart rate is going to be at its lowest. Once awake there are always movements, actions or stimuli which can increase it above that lowest base level.

Yes of course, but the the RHR that Germin gives us - on this watch - is an overnight only RHR. It shouldn't be affected by HR after waking up, until the following night.

Maybe your sleeping time was also changed after you first checked it?

I checked it, and it didn't change.

Indeed, hence my post

On the watch or and the app, information are the same. It just changed after 2 hours.
