Inspire HR heart rate information inaccurate

[jodiesb]

I’ve noticed my resting heart rate increases dramatically just before my period (up to 15 bpm) - however this month it has increased from 51bpm to 64bpm leading up to ovulation. I know resting heart rate can be affected by dehydration/sleep deprivation but I drink at least 2 litres a day and get an average of 7 hours sleep per night.

I could put it down to a) stress about work deadlines or b) I’ve been running less than normal - I had a 2 week break of very little exercise after normally running every other day at least - but surely it shouldn’t increase this much in a matter of 5 days? I’m only 20 years old and relatively fit - would a change in diet/more carbs & fats have an effect also?

Does anyone have a possible way explanation for this/should I be worried?

I appreciate all the information provided. If you are having problems with your RHR information, I recommend taking a look at the help article: What factors can affect my heart-rate reading on my Fitbit device? and follow the instructions provided there.
