Random Heart Rate Dips on Apple Watch

I have dips from 39 to 202. I don’t feel anything but feel terrible anxiety du e to it. Heart rate will drop to 39 and pick up and drop to 42 and pick up then go up to 140 and it back to 39. Awaiting a Monitor but no symptoms other than worry.

I’m so glad I found this! I’ve been panicking as my HR drops about twice a week ranging from 38-50!! I was starting to think I had a heart problem but no symptoms, this has put my mind at rest to know I’m not the only one 😊

hi, did you figure out what caused this ? i am also postpartum and see similar heart rate ranges and random dips. I am not athletic and did not work out through my pregnancy. curious what came out of your cardiology appointment

Hi, your post is not related to the singular issue the author posted about. The OP (author) is experiencing outliers in their BPM measurements. I hesitate to go into troubleshooting your issue(s) for fear of spamming 4 pages of other community members with information unrelated to their issue. Why don’t you create your own thread with specifics about your challenges with your Ultra 2? That way, you’ll get replies that are more tailored and specific to your situation. 😀😀

I came searching for exactly this as my watch is doing the same. Swapped from another brand where there was never low dips and now all of a sudden there is. As someone who suffers from

anxiety and panic attacks I’m feeling like the watch is more trouble for me than it’s worth. I am glad to see your response to your original post. It does feel perhaps that the heart rate monitor isn’t entirely accurate.

Thanks for the reply! I thought I was the only one who had this going on, so it’s nice to know someone else is too!

I’m glad you’re ok. Hope it’s just a fluke as these things are technically not medical grade.

My heart rate has always been between 50-60 while sleeping. My cardiologist said this is normal. Hope you are doing ok.

Mine has also been doing this as well. I went back to check and it’s happened quite a few times. Never any symptoms, just so happen to be looking at the history.

Hello. What was your outcome please? I’m the same, pp after a C-section. Seeing this random dips and blood pressure off also x

In looking at your data, I’ve wondered why sometimes it takes multiple readings during a minute and other times it just takes a single reading. Sometimes, it says streaming in both cases.

Thank you for this. My heart rate dips several times a day to mid 40s and I’m not aware but it’s on my heart rate history. Anxiety is maxed out as it seems to happen when I’m active. 😔

I had severe preeclampsia, so scary and made me paranoid too. Hope you’re recovering well though and find some peace soon, try to remember you are out of the worst of it!

mine looks just like that how do you read it i have very bad anxiety and panic attacks and this makes it worse how do you read it
