Hello,

 

My RHR is creeping up on me, The day before, My resting heart rate was 66 and, yesterday it was 67 and now when I wake up from a REM sleep data I was like blown away by Versa. My RHR was 68. How do I get down to 60 resting heart rate, Or maybe 58.

 

Take care of yourself

@CarameliPod There are several reasons why someone's RHR might rise.

 

1. Normal day to day variation - mine goes through rising and falling within a range of 3 to 5 bpm.

2. Stress from an upcoming event - when I have to be out of town for a few days my RHR starts to rise a few days before the travel day and in some cases it rises about 5 points above the average (this happened when I had to take an overseas trip).

3. Physical changes - I find that my RHR starts rising about a week before I get sick with the flu or cold (that is, before I feel the symptoms of the flu). I watch mine carefully in the spring and fall just to catch these periods. Also, seasonal allergies to various pollen trigger my RHR to rise for a few days. Pregnancy can also drive one's RHR upward.

 

If you find your RHR continue to rise with no apparent physical cause then it might be prudent to schedule a checkup just to make sure there is no underlying cause.
