Default Hrv

My blood pressure is low, but my heart rate is generally in the 80's or sometimes 90's. My blood pressure has been as low as 75/48. The nurse who took it didn't understand how I could remain on my feet. Everett brings up a good point. I have no idea what my HRV is because I do not have the tools to measure it. I do have a blood pressure cuff. I wish I could have the tool they use to measure oxygen in the blood, as when hospitalized, a nurse hooked me up to one at night. I finally had to ask for it to be removed because my oxygen in my blood kept dropping below 90% and the machine kept beeping and waking me up.

How can we know when our autonomous system is out of whack? Thanks Everett for bringing this subject up.
