Nellers 14 Nov 5:34am, 14 Nov 2024 44,202 posts	0 Nellers Again I'm no expert but from what I've read everyone has a very personal normal HRV range, which has to be established by monitoring before any conclusions can be drawn. Following on from that any large change in HRV is likely to be an indication that something dramatic has happened. If HRV has dropped it's the stress supressing the heart's reactivity. If HRV has dramatically increased it may be that you're making significantly varied demands on your heart due to the stress other organs/systems have been placed under. I don't know exactly how Garmins do HRV but that's sort fo the explanation I get on the app I use.
Bowman 🇸🇪 14 Nov 5:44am, 14 Nov 2024 4,075 posts	0 Bowman 🇸🇪 For me, the HRV fluctuations is definitely connected to worries, stress, and illnesses. And sometimes maranoia It’s interesting as a long term metric and the trend that appears, but maybe not short term. Although I look at it every morning to see “how I feel” 😂 Most of the time or always perhaps, if I have a low HRV score, my RHR is elevated too.

Interestingly due to stress over if my cat would live after being knocked down my RHR +15 and HRV very low.This morning RHR is in normal range +4 and HRV climbed as well.

WayOfTheDodo 14 Nov 5:47pm, 14 Nov 2024 4,860 posts	0 WayOfTheDodo I’ve stopped wearing my watch overnight because I was spending too much time worrying about all these stats that I never seem to actually be able influence, and don’t give me much actionable information.
StuH 14 Nov 11:26pm, 14 Nov 2024 4,986 posts	0 StuH I find HRV is a very reliable indicator of less sleep and alcohol consumption. It'll be low tomorrow.
Rosehip 15 Nov 8:08am, 15 Nov 2024 33,707 posts	0 Rosehip going back to the calendar, I was looking for an event I did last year - and found that it is also recorded on the wrong day in the calendar (Sat rather than Sun) but opening the activity shows it with the right date. Odd
