I went and purchased a smart watch and I have it reading all the time. Of course I had a problem when I wasn’t wearing it so I could charge it.
I got it because of yesterday
My morning blood pressure monitoring I got 227/156- not real bad- tried to relax a little for 10 mins and checked again to get 209/180. - the 180 hurts and made me sick all day. I was having my first panic attack things it felt like, not from seeing the BP but just from who knows???
I cleaned up my job and went down and got the watch- in the first hour the high pulse was 151 sitting and relaxing and 30 seconds later dropped to 43 for a minute then came back up.
My cardiologist got to me yesterday and said good news - your heart monitor came back good? That’s because at the hospital there monitors made mine have fuzzy readings, so they couldn’t see what was going on at all.
All I know is I have an appointment coming up and I’ll have all my results from the watch and my BP machine with me- going to plop all the info on his desk the day before so he can be ready for me

Not real bad? That's a heart attack or stroke waiting to happen. A pulse of 151 sitting for an hour? Sounds like Afib. A heart rate of 43 is bad if you're not an elite athlete. You're in very dangerous territory squatster! You need a new cardiologist!!

My cardiologist just finally put me on a new high blood pressure med 3 days ago. Is making me tired as hell and making me feel like I need to pee real bad but not much comes out. Hopefully it helps. The doc told me not to go by my Apple 6 watch because how my heart beats so crazy, the watch doesn’t know how to read it.
He ordered all kinds of blood tests also.
We will see what happens.

I knew one thing
From my new med - yesterday at work when I started- I was pooring sweat shaking like mad- I never really sweat at all- sugars?
It sucked- doc has me taking it at night but now I can't sleep at all
