You can google "exercise induced bradycardia" and find lots of reading matter. -- - Frank Krygowski |

There's also a nitric oxide component to blood vessel dilation among other factors. -- Andrew Muzi www.yellowjersey.org/ Open every day since 1 April, 1971 |

But if you experience a drop in your heart rate while exercising, it could signify either a minor, temporary problem or a more serious underlying cardiovascular condition. Consult your doctor about any drop in heart rate while exercising. Man exercising on treadmill at gym (Image: Comstock/Stockbyte/Getty Images) Video of the Day Identification Your heart rate, or pulse, is the number of times your heart beats per minute and is a way to tell how hard and effectively your heart is working. When your heart expands and contracts, forcing blood through your veins and arteries, you can feel and count those pulses at places like your wrist or neck. If your resting heart rate is between 60 and 90 beats per minute, it's considered normal. Depending upon your age, the maximum heart rate you should experience during exercise can range from 150 to 200. If your heart rate drops too low during rest or exercise, it can lead to lightheadedness, fatigue and fainting, the National Emergency Medicine Association warns. Causes One of the most common causes of a drop in your heart rate while exercising is vasovagal, or neurocardiogenic, syncope, when blood vessels expand and blood pools in the lower parts of your body. This is often precipitated by overheating or dehydration, the Mayo Clinic explains. A heart arrhythmia called bradycardia can cause your heart to beat too slowly. This is usually a result of damage to the heart from a previous heart attack or heart disease. Adams-Stokes disease and "sick sinus syndrome" are two other conditions caused by a heart rhythm disorder that makes your heart rate slow down, the American Heart Association adds. Prevention/Solution If you have bradycardia or vasovagal syncope, you may not need any treatment unless you experience prolonged or repeated attacks, in which case your doctor may give you medication or implant an artificial pacemaker. If your heart-rate drop is tied to overheating or dehydration, you should make sure to avoid exercising during the hottest parts of the day, dress appropriately and drink plenty of water before, during and after exercise. Warning If you find your heart rate is dropping on a regular basis during exercise, you should check with your doctor to determine if you have a heart arrhythmia or heart disease causing the problem. If you feel faint due to a drop in your pulse rate while exercising, the Mayo Clinic recommends that you stop immediately, lie down and lift your legs slightly until you recover, or put your head between your knees."

I’ve had my HRM lock onto a harmonic of my heart rate if the strap was too dry (ie: actual heart rate is 75, HRM reads 150). Once I start sweating, it will usually fix itself, although I may have to pull the strap off my chest for a second to force it to reset. |

Or, according to Livestrong it could be: (https://www.livestrong.com/article/3...ring-exercise/) Still skeptical. I believe the article is talking about a drop from typical exercies rates, and not to rates lower than resting. Frankly, I can't believe a heart rate while exercising could ever be lower than a resting heart rate (unless maybe it's gone to zero). -- Ted Heise West Lafayette, IN, USA |

Once I start sweating, it will usually fix itself, although I may have to pull the strap off my chest for a second to force it to reset. I've had similar harmonics, but usually resulting from a mild arrhythmia. Specifically, from time to time I've had occasional runs of premature atrial contractions, and it shows as an increase from the low 150s to 227 or thereabouts (the max the unit can register, I think). Seeing a rate *lower* than resting wouldn't be a harmonic, but maybe there are beats being missed by the unit and it's reading low as a result? -- Ted Heise West Lafayette, IN, USA |

Anyone else experience similar drops in heart rate whilst exercising compared to their normal heart rate? Cheers What are you using to measure your heart rate? If it's a smart watch, you need to pay attention to the angle of your wrist. I use a watch like that generally but not specific to cycling. So I tend to leave it on when riding. To track my cycling heart rate I use a chest strap. I know that the watch is not very accurate with my wrists bent in cycling position. Chest band heart rate monitor with a watch receiver. Cheers Then I can't explain it. I've never had this happen to me. |
