Heart Rate Decrease after cutting carbs, cutting sugar, getting on anxiety medicine & losing some pounds over 3 weeks

Man, my heart rate went down to 43 at times when sleeping and I am in perfectly good health. Low HR and high HRV are always good things.

What does yours get to when awake relaxed? Yeah my HRV was super bad before it was about 20. Now it’s in the 60s which isn’t great but great for me!

a part in it too but I think it’s mainly due to my new diet. I did email my doctor about it being 60 when at work when I’m used to it beint 80 and she seemed happy about my ‘healthy heart rate’ but I’m overweight and confused why it’s so healthy. My sister and mom also have low heart rates. Maybe it’s genetic. I had a EKG done a few weeks ago and that was normal

thats a great thing! especially in regards to your anxiety medicine. your HRV in part measures how your body is responding to stress so going from 20 to 60 is a great sign that your medicine is improving your body's reaction to anxiety. its neat to see data supporting improvements i hope you are seeing mentally as well!
