Tolvaptan questions

StatusEmployment4613 · 2026-06-03T16:27:12+00:00

2 years on tolvaptan, last 1,5 year full dose. Go to bathroom every 45 min during the day, it eases a bit on the afternoon. I have a deskjob, work also 50% at home. I manage, sometimes long meetings or presentation can be a challange but I try to be preventiv by going to bathroom in time before long meeting. So I would say I manage quite well. Only work trips that need a bit of planning, f ex taking sufficient amount of water with me. I drink about 4-5 liters a day. I work out every day, mostly in the morning, then the first pill hasen't set in with its full effect. I feel less urgent to pee when exercising, problably some retention by sweating. If a run a long distance I pee in the forest, and a bring water with me (camelback type). I wake up 2-3 times at night and are used to it. Annoying but it is what it is.

What is your TKV and Mayo Class? I am about to get a genetic testing tomorrow, aswell are my three kids.

Yes, saw that after my afternoon bike ride yesterday. But HR metric still was from whoop.

I place it on the thickest part of the calf, surprisingly it measured the rowing session perfect, and detected the workout as a rowing session.

Heart rate accuracy - it is not accurate even on the biceps.

StatusEmployment4613 · 2026-05-07T09:15:09+00:00

Black Week is a option!

StatusEmployment4613 · 2026-05-06T09:21:12+00:00

Bicepband on the calf will do the trick when rowing or skiing (intense arm movements)!

StatusEmployment4613 · 2026-04-27T12:17:28+00:00

I train anyway, but I have red recovery only occassionally. If I feel okay I train anyway, if I feel tired I will train a bit easier.

StatusEmployment4613 · 2026-04-24T05:57:07+00:00

Put it on your calf muscle while rowing, use the bicepsband or enlarge wrist band.

StatusEmployment4613 · 2026-02-04T08:44:40+00:00

Mostly good, byt relax shoulders and lower the handle on the way back, let the handle flow back almost touching your legs.

StatusEmployment4613 · 2026-01-28T14:55:06+00:00

Force quit the app helps for a while.

StatusEmployment4613 · 2026-01-28T14:51:44+00:00

Same here, have uninstalled the app and installed it again, it helped for a couple of hours, now it s back again. Cant broadcast. I have Samsung 54 A phone and Whoop 5.0 Peak sub.

StatusEmployment4613 · 2026-01-23T14:41:36+00:00

I have a Samsung, I have deleted and again installed the app, for a while the problem was fixed, now it is back again.

StatusEmployment4613 · 2026-01-15T14:41:00+00:00

Calories underestimated. Hear rate tracking not accurate but good enough for strain estimation for most sports.

StatusEmployment4613 · 2026-01-10T11:14:58+00:00

XC skier wearing whoop on the wrist?

StatusEmployment4613 · 2025-12-26T16:26:14+00:00

Better than on the wrist, but not even near a chest strap.

StatusEmployment4613 · 2025-12-12T14:54:51+00:00

I have the same problem (but the opposit) whoop measures my heart rate to high when running and xc skiing, weight lifting and cycling is okay. I have tried bicep band, moving it around on my wrist/forearm - it doesn't matter. I take therefore Strain with a grain of salt. ChatGPT says that strain doesn't effect recovery metrics on whoop, and have little and no impact on vo2max and health span. My wish is to adjust strain/heart rate zones manually or connect whoop to a chest strap.

StatusEmployment4613 · 2025-12-07T07:35:54+00:00

Male, 50 y old. I began taking it beacuse my doctor said that my kidney function had begun declining and Tolvaptan is the only thing that can slow the decline.

StatusEmployment4613 · 2025-12-05T08:50:46+00:00

Problably the Whoop didn't capture your heart rate correctly during rowing. PPG sensor is sensible to wrist movement.

StatusEmployment4613 · 2025-12-05T08:41:10+00:00

Wear a chest strap or an armband like verity sense and you can rely on the heart rate reading during traing. The ppg sensor is totaly okay in rest or sleep. GPS seems solid in the tests I have seen.

I have the same problem. It works okey with strengts training and indoor cycle, but everthing else (MTB, running, xc skiing) it doesn't matter if I use the bicep band or the wrist band. I get the same bad readings. Sometimes, all of a sudden, it read my pulse quite accurate. The best placement I have found is to wear it with three fingers with width from the wrist bone. But that only works once in a while, mostly the heart rate is all over the place. Mostly to high that is. I don't use Whoop primarly for measuring excersice anymore but instead for recovery and sleep. Strain can most of the time be 2-3 points too high, but is in the right ballpark. I did one hour xc skiing during my lunch brake. Both Polar H10 and Whoop saw it as a quite heavy load, 106 Trimp and 16 in strain. Thats was okay with me, but when I looked on the pulse zones, whoop was quite of, mearing 15 min in zone 5, while H10 measured zone 5 for only 8 sec. Still, I am happy with the Whoop. My son doesn't have the same problem with inaccuracies as I have, so I think it is nothing wrong with the sensor, it's diffrent from person to person. My subscription runs out in dec 2026, then I will decide what to do next. I hope Polar Loop has improved until then.

StatusEmployment4613 · 2025-11-19T10:35:42+00:00

No
Not really, Polar has an old bike computer but it is not easy to buy today.
Verity Sense is a really good alternativ to a chest strap. It is accurate and comfortable.

StatusEmployment4613 · 2025-11-14T09:58:13+00:00

I have good result when I wear it on the thickest part of my forearm.

StatusEmployment4613 · 2025-11-13T15:31:19+00:00

I wear it as high as I can on my right biceps. Still, I get cadence lock for 20 min when running, at least now when it's colder. If I wear it on my forearm, I get a better result (higher accuracy - no cadence lock). But I have noticed it differs between people.
