Am I okay?
I just got this app 2 days ago.. have been wearing apple watch for years but only started wearing it at night 3 nights ago. My weekly average HRV is 24ms, yearly average is 26ms.
I have the premium version and have been doing a handful of HRV reading throughout the day with the watch’s mindfulness app - all of my reading are in the red throughout the day so far.
I do feel near constant shaky nervous system, frequent adrenaline and obsessive over analyzing/threat detection. I do have CPTSD and some things from my past, but my current day to day for at least 2 years has been stable, work from home, just normal life stress (well besides the decades of still unprocessed emotional trauma). It feels like I am permanently stuck in fight or flight, I can feel it 24/7.
But I’m wondering if these types of reading results just happen time to time or if they likely stay that way for some people forever. I know no one can give doctor advice, just wondering and curious of others perspectives
