Resting Heart Rate "Cycles"?

Replies are disabled for this topic. Start a new one or visit our Help Center.

Similar to RRKPL's post in 2015, my resting heart rate appears to cycle very predictably between 53 and 58 bpm.  It's not random - it's like a near-perfect sine wave.  Since I'm male, it's not due to menstrual cycle as they talk about in medical literature.  Cycle appears to be several days long, maybe a week.  There's nothing I'm changing on my Fitbit use from day to day.  The only thing I can think of is that I catch up a little on sleep on weekends and sleep times start and end later on weekends (although difference is not dramatic).  Other than maybe sleep, what else might be causing this?

Same thing for me.  I am 69 years old and my resting heart rate cycles for 59 to 65 bpm.
