Hey guys. I'm trying to solve a little mystery:

My normal resting heart rate is usually between 65 and 70. When I wash dishes, it goes up to about 120 (which is what I would expect for standing in one place), but then it will suddenly plummet down into the 50's. This only happens when I wash dishes specifically. I'm wondering if anyone on here has had this experience or if anyone has any guesses as to the cause.

I use a Visible arm band to monitor my heart rate and help with my pacing. I'm able to tag sections of time with an activity, and the app stores all that data for me to refer back to, so I can see that washing dishes is the ONLY activity that this happens with. I'm so curious to know why!
