My watch has recently been recording random high and low spike on my heart rate. It will say 41(which I actually checked with my radial artery) and I was actually 84. It will record 39 and then jump to 160. I know my heart is not beating irregularly like this. Is there anything I can do to correct this. Thanks so much.

Perhaps this article will help for a more accurate heart rate reading.

The first (and simplest) thing to try if something isn’t working right is to restart your Apple Watch and its paired iPhone. If necessary (device not responding), try a forced restart. Both methods can be found here:

If that doesn't help, the next steps would be to unpair and pair your watch again and restore from the backup. This deletes all temp and corrupted files and re-indexes the file system.
