From Spikes to Drains: Using HRV to Tell Acute Stress from Chronic Stress
Acute stress shows up as rapid physiological spikes, while chronic stress appears as slow, cumulative drains on the nervous system. In HRV data, fast changing metrics like RMSSD and pNN50 capture immediate reactions, while SDNN and the HRV Triangular Index reflect long term autonomic strain and recovery.
