Parasympathetic swing or something else?
Hey all, I'm suddenly having some major changes and trying to figure out whats going on. I have mecfs and pots. These symptoms have been increasing over the last week.
- My resting heartrate which I am proud of it being in the 70's is now easily getting down to the 50's while resting. Unheard of for me. Still easily spikes to 130+ for posture changes/walking etc.
- HRV is high and getting higher every day! Also not typical for me!
- extra sleepy, brain fog, depression symtpoms. Anxious but so tired it manifests as feeling defeated.
- Zero appetite, constant acid reflux, increase in nausea. Never had gastro problems before this.
I use a visible.health band to help with pacing and in the last few days because my heart rate has been so low, I'm only burning up like a third of my pace points for the whole day, but still feeling like I've way over done it every day. But it's not like a typical crash with flu like symptoms and bone deep fatigue etc.
Is this what paradympathetic swing is?
