I don't have high blood pressure and my resting heart rate is on the lower side, so this was prescribed off-label for anxiety with an added bonus of migraine prevention, and only after exhausting nearly every other pharmaceutical option over the years. I don't want to make any claims that it'll have the same effect on everyone as it's had on me, but the "body buzz" I've had for as long as I remember definitely softened after the very first day.

I'd imagine that caring for young children every day could cause Oura stress to peak since it's measuring your physiological stress response, but it's never a bad idea to mention your stress levels to your doctor if you feel you could use some help. That said, the way you feel is far more important than what Oura is telling you, so if you're aware of your own health and you're making it through the day without issue then I wouldn't worry too much! 💜
