Cardiologist today

No problems at all for the past 3 days???

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
Fuckers

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.

they put me on diltiazem to slow my heart down Or should I say to slow down the spikes.
Also there new cardiologist ordered new blood work - ALDOLASE; COMPREHENSIVE METABOLIC PANEL; CREATINE KINASE, TOTAL; LIPID PANEL WITH REFLEX TO DIRECT LD
She see the results tomorrow or Thursday??

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
