Health Matters

Since switching the morning exercises from the knee routine, to a more general combination of knee and heart exercises I've actually been seeing sinus rhythm in the morning. Something that has not happened for a long time. I've an appointment to see the latest physio at the doctor's surgery tomorrow when hopefully we can sort a tidier daily routine of exercises.

Last Thursday I had a phone call from the hospital offering me an appointment the next day which of cause I gr…

Well after 10 days of a clean sinus rhythm I'm back to the messy one and the watch is struggling with misinformation on my 'stress levels'. Perhaps the only thing that is stressing me is the way none of these 'Artificial Intelligence' tools have no intelligence at all. The main problem is that the Samsung tools have no idea of other reasons for a high HRV and try to fix a high one to what it has been 'trained on'. I'm still not experiencing any problem symptoms…

Over the last year at least waking up with my heart in something close to a sinus rhythm was just an occasional rarity. However since Monday I have been seeing a stable 50ish bpm and the Smarty watch has had no problem taking a blood pressure reading. There are still the occasional glitches where a beat is missed, but not very often first thing. The watch app is complaining that I need to add4ress my HRV reading as it's 'not good', but I'll wait a couple more days until hopefu…

I am still having fun with waking up too early in the morning and am being told I need to 'relax more' which seems counter productive when I'm also told I need to get my heart rate up! The latest regime now includes a session of HIIT first thing in the morning, and splitting my 40 minute brisk walk into two higher intensity 20 minute walks. This makes sence and I added a second walk later yesterday which actually got my heart rate up into the 'Anaerobic' band, which I thin…

It's April and I've only 8 more days of physio on my knee. Only problem is after 3 and a bit months my knee seems stiffer and tighter than it was at the start. So much so that I've resorted to ibuprofen gel before I add my brisk walk to the mix. Only good thing is that today my heart is in a good mode and I've managed two blood pressure readings with the latest just 124/69 ... straight after my physio. Lets see how the rest of the day goes as I only managed one reading yesterd…
