HRV Heart Rate Variability

I have started using the Welltory app and this uses HRV to score your Health, Energy and Stress each day. My HRV is awful, nearly always in red (with the actual reading in the teens). I do feel as awful as the app is telling me I do- which is at least making me feel seen.

The question is what to do about it. As I undertstand it a low HRV means my body is stuck in fight or flight and the parasympathetic nevous system is not engaging to allow rest and restoration. There seems to be some involvement of the vegas nerve, but Im honestly too brain fogged to really have much of a grasp on this let alone having a plan what to do.

I need to regain energy so I can get my house ready to be rewired so Im getting a bit desperate. Everytime I overdo it I ended up bedridden for days, weeks or months… apparently this means I have "chronic fatigue".
My CPN seems to think this indicates ME Ive yet to have a proper diagnosis though…. he hasnt given any tips on how to get morew energy. I seem to be getting more knackered as time goes on and I dont know if part of that is the stress over needing to be ready to rewire.

Does anyone have any advice?
