So let's dive a little deeper into how HRV relates to stress. When you're stressed, your sympathetic nervous system dominates your fight or flight nervous system, and your fight or flight response takes center stage. This decreases HRV as your body prepares to face a perceived threat. So over time, chronic stress leads to consistently low hrv, which is associated with various health issues including heart disease, hypertension, and mental health disorders like anxiety and depression. So understanding your HRV can help you manage stress more effectively. Clean them in.
