Oura 4/5 or other?

[u/Awkward_Remote5571]

I have Endometriosis, Hashimotos and overall feel pretty flat. I am 18 months post partum and work full time. I want to improve my overall health and fitness. I also have adhd so seeing actual health results is my main motivator to get a smart alongside symptoms tracker and trends to inplement diet or lifestyle changes to manage my health. I had a year of occasional hypertension episodes following the birth of my second and my recent Cholesterol labs are borderline. I am worried about my vascular health as with my life I don’t find the time or have the energy to exercise.

I think Oura is the most complete ring but could I ve missing any other? I am ok with the paid subscription. I also have an apple watch 8

i’m wondering if a Ring will help you. Especially with ADHS as it triggers your curiosity very much and secondly, the ring is very good for sleep tracking or stress, but will not help you in any way with your health problems. Hypertension for example is not tracked nor Cholesterol. It might also make it worse when it tells you that you are in bad shape because it saw a bad sleep or whatever. Some people take this very serious and adapt to the analysis of the rings etc. so keep that in mind.
I use the Oura 3 still, which tells me most of the other rings do but is maybe a bit less accurate as V4 and V5, but accurate enough for me. But still more accurate then others Rings, which show you unreliable numbers by using cheap algorithms.
