GLP1 + Resting Heart Rate
I did 1.5mg of the Wegovy pill for about a week and during that time my Oura ring showed my resting heart rate was about 10 BPM above my normal baseline. I stopped taking it about a week ago to see if it would come back down, but it’s still elevated every night.
I am also in a period of pretty elevated stress right now, which I know can impact resting heart rate, but I’ve never seen my RHR stay this elevated for this long before, so the timing with the GLP-1 has me wondering if they’re connected.
Has anyone else experienced a prolonged increase in resting heart rate from a GLP-1? If so, how long did it take after stopping for your heart rate to return to normal?
For context, I otherwise feel okay — no chest pain or anything alarming — just noticing the consistently elevated nighttime RHR data and trying to figure out whether others have seen this normalize with time.
