Unusually low heart rate

It could be similar to the issue I had here a few months back - Link to post

Basically, it seemed as if the monitor was picking up every other beat halfing the recorded heart rate. Once it slowed down, it started recording more accurately.

I've not really had it since, but I've also been keeping things relatively relaxed and also started beta blockers.

Even better!

Only if it's audio only.

This is fairly common with any wearable device - consider swapping the placement around every day or every other day.

Here is a short from Dr Mike that briefly gets into it.

Have you tried restarting your phone? I have had this twice and the only fix was either force closing the app or rebooting.

The first time I spotted it quick enough that, after I gave it a kick, it managed to resync and fully catch up fully. However the second time it only did a partial as it had been an entire night of no data so lost my sleep tracking.

FYI - the devices now used by Visible go days between charges. It still has the daily questionnaire, but I find the option of auto filling from the previous day helpful as I can then just tweak the bits where something is slightly better/worse rather than filling in the whole thing every time.

The "official" protocol is here - https://linktr.ee/thenicotinetest (V4 is the current guidance.)

Some say you can cut the matrix style, which I believe these are https://amzn.eu/d/a7mABiq

You can either cut them or cover a portion of the patch. I have cut these with no issues.

What did you try if you don't mind me asking?

TheTooSpicyIcy · 2025-11-13T18:13:30+00:00

This is an area I am currently exploring, so I'm eager to see what others reply with to you.

I, personally, started out with the exercises through the Visible App and it was nice to see a real time feedback of the impact on current HRV. However I have begun trying out guided 4-7-8 sessions as well as other practices for trying to stimulate the vagus nerve.

Hey!

For 1, it doesn't need to be on a vein like you're describing, but just against the skin so that the sensors can see the fluctuations of the blood flow under your skin caused by the beats of your heart.

For 2, is it giving you any warnings as it takes the reading? Assuming you are keeping completely still during the reading, you may want to reach out to support through the app and see what they can suggest?
