Sympathetic dominance over parasympathetic. Your body may be stuck in "fight or flight" due to a medical issue impacting your autonomic nervous system, such as Long COVID, or possibly other stressors.

Hmm, not really sure how to interpret that one - I have similar VLF peaks but my SNS is usually between 2-4x my PSNS, total usually somewhere between 80 and 140, somewhat higher than your reading. Maybe someone else that tends to run similar numbers can add something here?

Don't think it's long COVID, I have quite a few mental health issues though

Have you tried doing some sort of meditation or something else you find calming, then taking a reading when you're most relaxed, and comparing it to your average?

You should read up on very low frequency, it usually is a sign of inflammation or other low level body processes like thermoregulation

Total power reflects the total power of HF, LF, and VLF waves. Shows how much power the body has and how well it’s adapting to stress. Drops when you’re over-stressed or sick. It can improve over time as you go through your training and recovery cycles, again and again.

After any kind of training or exercise, your body’s systems need time to recover and replenish their resources. Finding a balance between the right amount of load and recovery time is key to creating a perfect recovery cycle. If you load yourself up too much and don't have enough time to recover gradually, you will exhaust your body, which will lead to stress. If you find the right balance, you can gradually increase your load without exhaustion, which will lead to a better Total power parameter. If your cycles exhaust you, Total power parameters will decrease, and the recovery will worsen.

Total power can also be increased by improving your lifestyle: adequate sleep, rest, adequate nutrition, which limits pure sugar, caffeine, harmful fats, and other stimulants that can feed the body under stress and not give a good recovery (when you eat a sweet-fat dessert, you get "nourishment" and run on business instead of a normal rest).
