Random Heart Rate Drops on Apple Watch 10

Anyone else have random HR drops on the HR log? I have anxiety with panic attacks. I often check my HR graph when I feel my anxiety kicking in. I notice random HR drops on my watch, I just upgraded to the 10 although I was also seeing them on my six but more frequently on my six and I’m on the 10. History will show it’s like anywhere between 78 to maybe like 95 and then all of a sudden there’ll be a random drop to 51 or 46. It trigger’s my anxiety and my mind takes over… then I’m in a full panic mode with an accelerated heart rate…. This happen to anyone else. I wear it as snug as I can tolerate

Just to be sure, check with your doctor.

However, there have been a few reports from other users, about harte rate measurements that seem not to be accurate, especially when recording a lower heart rate than average.

And, since the Apple Watch is no medical device and the recordings aren't always correct.

Don't wear your watch too tight, I'm able to put a finger between the wrist band and the underside of my wrist.
