Summary

Oak 83819 reported being ill since June 2022, with post-exertional malaise after workouts. They used a Garmin activity tracker since 2021 to judge what they could do and as a second opinion before activity. Their main concern was morning stress scores that rose sharply on waking and stayed high for hours despite rest, slow walks, music or podcasts. They asked for ways to alleviate the morning stress.
