Garmin HRV and Stress

Part of it may be related to the algorithm used by Garmin.

Ex: using a whoop my hrv was 60-80 sometimes >100

Switched to Garmin and have never seen it over 60.

The algo used by both are calculated differently.
 
yeah im on tirz, i was at 7.5mg and lowered it to 6mg last shot, then the next day I heard of that, so I'm planning to stop it completely for now. Maybe in the future I will do like 2mg reta or tirz.

From what I understand one aspect might be its affect on the Vagus nerve, stimulating it and leaning things towards parasympathetic and supressing appetite and the increased digestion time especially at night. from my research today it seems like eating before bed makes a large negative difference.



That hrv doesnt look very good but I haven't seen much HRV data from people on gear, so thank you for contributing. Especially because I might give Deca another shot next cycle, I'm guessing less androgenicity = better HRV.

Hows your stress and sleep?

I generally have anxiousness, I was prescribed beta blockers at once point but had to come off them because my BP was getting too low and maybe even my respiration rate. Plus I thought they might have been making me lazy/depressed. But at one point they were a lifesaver, even just on TRT, as I felt like I was always stuck in "On" mode after the military.

Currently I'm on ~300mg tren (i know obvious answer here)
but I honestly don't feel much different compared to my baseline anxiety. Just TIRED. but I get ~7-8 hours of sleep so at first I thought it was dopamine related so I bought some caber.

But after getting the watch I see that most of that sleep is light with 50+ restless events (I think tirz digestion), but I think the real factor for my HRV is just general stress, as mine is ~40+ all day and night with no resting periods.

Anyway, needless to say I won't do anymore tren and see how it recovers.

On my last cycle (no tren), I didn't get the gains I was expecting and felt similar to this, Exhausted, difficulty recovering.

So I'm removing tirz and the tren, and I'll just stay on my background legit TRT dose of 700ng/dl and see what my real baseline is.

I also wear a CPAP and I manage to keep it on for atleast half of the night.

I do a 4 day split of 16-20 sets per day
(half of them aren't really working sets, like pyramids)

I'm in a surplus and my dumbbell shoulder press went down while on this tren dose so I was like ok im buying a goddamn fitness watch

This is day two of being out of the gym and Its killing me.

I'm going to have to do legs tomorrow IDGAF
My HRV got better that I'm off work and I had a good sleep.

Still on cycle. Current meds are:
100mg metoprolol succinate
60mg telmisartan
5mg clinlidipine
150mg Sertraline
30mg Mirtazapine

What Garmin watch are you using? I’m looking to switch because I’m tired of charging my Apple Watch every single day, especially when activity is high.
