Need Advice - Readiness Score Stuck For A Month
Below shows my monthly readiness scores for the last few months. I started a new work out system shortly after fitbit changed to Google health in July. (I didnt include July because I was finding balance and pace with my new routine. But it looks similar to August and sept.) I have had a fitbit for about 8 years and ive worked out all that time as well. In the 8 years I've been working out this has never happened to me and I need help trying to figure out what's going on.
A month ish ago I got sick. I had a z pack and was better and readiness recovered like normal. I had one or two good and normal work outs after recovering and then my readiness score became stunted. Its been stuck between 50 and 60 for almost a full month. (Usually its exactly 53 but sometimes 55.) I have no idea what is happening. Ive tried sleeping more, sleeping better by kicking my kids out of the room. Ive tried not working out for 5 days in a row to let it come back up, it didn't move. Ive even tried working out hard to see if it would help jump start things by going extra low and coming back up. My rhr is consistently raised and my hrv is consistently too low. No matter what I do nothing will change it.
Ive not changed my diet. (I eat the same thing every day. I suffer from oral fixations and it takes months to get over them. Ive been eating the same thing every day for 4 months.) I only drink water but I did briefly reintroduce coffee along with my 12 cups of water daily but was worried that was the cause and cut it right back out. This didn't fix anything so I now know that wasn't the issue. I dont drink alcohol or do any kind of drugs. I take only vitamins, one probiotic, and Nexium for heartburn. These haven't changed in many years.
Im at a complete loss and ive tried to do everything I could think of, everything my ai coach could think of, and even tried researching what could cause this. Coach thing wants me to see a dr but like how do I even explain this? "My readiness score is making me mad because its stuck," sounds ridiculous. Sometimes im fatigued and feel like 50 ish seems right. Other times I feel fine and don't understand why its still stuck. Has anyone experienced anything like this before? Any ideas on what i can do to try to get back to normal? Should I actually try to see a dr even though i wouldn't exactly know what's wrong with me? Plz and ty to anyone who takes time to read this. Feel free to ask any questions.
