I've learned from my watch how much alcohol affects HRV, and like you said it's all connected. Makes me appreciate the complexity of God's creation even more.

I can't imagine what the numbers will look like without it (I haven't looked) - my HRV is (supposedly) around 145-150 and my resting heart rate in the 50's. Considering that alcohol slows down HRV and speeds up resting heart rate, I'm going to look like a marathoner at this rate! (if only)

Wow! Mine averages around 45. But the past 2 nights it's been 32.

Resting heart rate, or the HRV?

If it's the HRV, I suspect that mine is so high because of all the arrhythmias. Lord knows there's plenty of "variability" there.

- I feel like, if I ever do get scheduled at the cardiology group, I'm about to have some amazing data on all these numbers. 🤪

Edit to add:

Good grief

You consider that high? Doesn't sound that high to me. Mine is 62 right now

Its high compared to what it has been. I just started paying attention to it on a regular basis about 18 months ago and it's been around 52-55. Sometimes at night it even dipped in the high 40's.

I'm paying attention to it because my sleep is messed up, my stress readings are through the roof and my HRV is way low.

All that means something ain't right.

At least I’m not down in the 30’s at night like I was.

Something strange and aggravating is I've been wearing both watches just to compare. They both give the same exact HR every time I check them. During a run they give the same average and maximum, sometimes they're off by 1 or 2.

But at night, like last night, the Samsung shows an average in one place of 63 and the other place 65. The Garmin shows and average of 57.

Lol.

Do you wear one on each wrist? I guess dominant hand doesn’t matter for nighttime.

Anyway, if you do, have you tried switching them? I’d be curious whether the Garmin always reads lower, or if it’s always the left wrist is lower; something like that.

Tried all 3 ways. Both on same arm, one on each and switched them. Even switched the settings to the corresponding arm. Same results. Garmin is always lower.

I think that you and I are somewhat in the same boat: our heart arrhythmias, even if not very frequent, are preventing our watches from accurately capturing heartbeats. Maybe your Samsung is more sensitive and is counting the extra beats, maybe your Garmin can tell the difference between the regular beats (sinus rhythm) and the extras and is ignoring the extras. When my heart is racing, I can’t even take my pulse properly, because there are stronger and weaker beats and little hiccups, and I just don’t know what to count.

It’s an especially annoying thing for those who tend to overthink stuff. For me, anyway.
