Has anyone on here had covid and seen their fitness trackers change?

Had covid in December, 2 days before covid heart beat was at an average base of 55bpm, during Covid and since heart rate base is 75, and won't go below

Ive always found a chest strapped heart rate monitor sensor for my garmin to be way more accurate than a watch based one tbh

I've had the same both with the illness and with the jabs.

Resting heart rate up by about 10.

Recovery heart rate much slower for a couple of weeks after each jab.

Also had occasional palpitations but nothing concerning.

I have covid right now. I was wondering what it would do to my HR so have been checking regularly and looking at the charts. I can’t notice the difference (yet - only tested positive yesterday).

I’m using a Fenix 6 Pro.

I think with the illness you'd expect to see some elevation (depending on how ill you actually are with it) just as normal immune response.

Personally the more interesting thing to look at was with the Pfizer booster which definitely messed about with my heart rate for a couple of weeks. Seems to be back to normal now though.

If you are ill you will be having an immune response from you body this can raise both temperature and heart rate. It is perfectly normal and can also be caused by vaccines as again it is an immune system response.

Yes, I’d expect to see an elevated HR, but so far nothing. I’m not feeling too bad. A bit of a cough and achey.

My HR after my booster (Moderna on the back of 2 x Pfizer) wasn’t possible to track. I had it two days before Christmas so any immediate increase to HR was probably due to alcohol!
