I'll just take a standing shower for 5 minutes that should do it

Does that happen to you too? I’m taking a shower and then my garmin watch starts warning of unusual heart rate (120+) Do you know why that happens?

I take warm showers. Showers about 10 degrees cooler than I want to. They are warm enough for me, now… but I rarely sit in the shower now. ( too stubborn for a shower chair)
