Resting heart rate in perimenopause
Your heart's idle speed, measured daily. Slow-moving and personal — which makes sustained drifts from your own baseline the interesting events.

Why it matters in the transition
Sleep debt, alcohol, illness, stress, and hormone swings can all nudge resting heart rate. It also gives palpitation entries measured company: a felt episode plus the day's numbers is a stronger record than either alone.
How Perity uses it
Daily values sync as summaries; Perity watches for sustained moves against your baseline and shows them beside your logged symptoms. What a drift means — if anything — is a clinician conversation with better data.
The honest caveats
Day-to-day wiggle is normal and mostly meaningless. Sustained change over weeks is the pattern worth bringing to an appointment, and even then it's context, not diagnosis.
Symptoms it gives context to
Perity informs, never prescribes — decisions belong with you and your clinician.
