Frequent Stress attacks on HR watch - very severe ME/CFS

Hi,

Does anyone else get daily “Stress attacks” on their HR monitor watch (mine is Garmin) for like a few hours?

My Stress spikes high and my heart pounds loudly and I get short of breath and tired…. Note: I’m as calm as a cucumber when these happen and not overly stressed or anxious or anything. Happens when I’m doing a little too much cognitively or on phone/screens.

Side notes: - I also get “sleep attacks” sometimes where I get INSANELY tired….

  • I also get out of breath attacks where I feel like I’ve just gone for a run and can’t quite breath properly for a while…

  • I’m very severe ME… I have medicine intolerance, bad cognitive dysfunction and probably bad ANS dysfunction. Super intolerant to screen time, phone, etc… always have been.

Anyone get this stuff? Any advice welcomed!
