I recently brought a Apple Watch S4 40mm,The first few weeks the Apple Watch has been working perfectly fine.
Recently I’ve been getting random spikes on my watch, nearly daily going from 64bpm to 156bpm back to 82bpm !!! This has been driving me a little
crazy as I don’t know it’s possible or not? Has anyone else been experience this as it is giving me severe anxiety
Apple Watch Series 4, watchOS 6
Did you try to switch the watch to the other arm, and see if the results are the same?

For best results, the back of your Apple Watch needs skin contact for features like Wrist Detect, the Taptic Engine, and the electrical and optical heart sensors. Wearing your Apple Watch with the right fit—not too tight, not too loose, and with room for your skin to breathe—keeps you comfortable and let the sensors do their jobs. You may want to tighten your Apple Watch band for workouts, then loosen it when you’re done. In addition, the sensors will work only if you wear your Apple Watch on the top of your wrist.

And for a small percentage of users, various factors may make it impossible to get any heart rate reading at all. But there are things you can do to help Apple Watch get the most consistent and best heart rate readings possible. Learn what else affects your reading.
