Just google, most site will say when wake up in the morning, pang jio, sit down or lie down and relax for while than start your watch. Suggest don't use the 15 sec sampling and multiply by 4 coz you will end up with a 4 bpm resolution.  Hard to gauge improvement like that or see small trends..

My Coros watch has this function where I can just start the measurement, and it will beep for say 30sec to a minute, and will give the average. Don't know about other watches if they have this feature.

yep, some say dun move too much when 1st wake up n then take the reading, i find lying down have slight difference compared with sitting down

i am using the oximeter provided by our gov to check the readings, at night lying on the bed before sleep has lower readings as compared to morning/afternoon

For the watch, only tried the sleep function, don't think is continuous sampling as it will miss out some short duration low readings (oximeter on finger to compare)

Gotta go find out if my watch got the rhr function

Do it consistently on the same pattern everyday.

I have been taking my RHR and HRV daily immediately after I wake up for years.

Use HRV4Training app.

hello, wanted to ask if anyone has any thoughts on my "situation". 

quick summary:

- 70kg (Jun 2021), 92kg (Feb 2024), 86kg (now). working on calorie deficit to being body fat mass down. 

- creatine supplement - 5g daily

- protein intake (meat, eggs, whey) - target 160g daily

- weight training 3x a week; yoga & pilates twice a week each. (been weight training for 3 years, started creatine supplement about 2 years ago, increased protein about 2 years ago). 

 

when I did blood test at polyclinic in Feb 2024, my Creatinine levels were 113 (umol/L). reference range 67-112. (has been elevated for a while now; but can't remember whether it was after or before my weight training /supplementation or after). 

eGFR (CKD-EPI) is 66 (mL/min/1.73m2), reference range >=60. 

 

today at polyclinic, I told my doctor that I supplement with creatine. she asked me to cut out creatine. my weight training coach says its ok to continue, as weight training does elevate creatinine levels. 

 

when I googled, I came across this: 

https://www.tuasaude.com/en/high-creatinine-levels/#:~:text=High creatinine levels commonly occur,ketoacidosis or high blood pressure.

 

causes of high creatinine:

- excessive physical activity (weight training, increased muscle mass)

- dehydration

- increased protein intake

- excessive creatine supplements

- high blood pressure

etc

 

I wanted to seek second opinion from a doctor, but thinking what field would be relevant. i figured check around if anyone has encountered similar situation as myself. 

 

Thank you 🙏
