I had issues a couple years ago with seemingly random heart rate spikes (well, I also have anxiety, but they didn't seem triggered by a particular thought/situation). He had me do a 24-hour Holter monitor thing, which showed my rhythm as normal and gave me peace of mind.
What kind of wearable device did you get? I've used both Fitbit (a couple different models) and a Garmin.
In terms of the other medical thing

thanks LT. it's an Amazfit fitband. It had good reviews and was on sale. I have trouble with wearing normal watches, they always quit working on me, so wanted to try out a less expensive one first just in case I still can't wear stuff like that. If it keeps working well i'll likely get a better one that does more stuff.
yeah, they usually do an ekg at physicals at my doc too. i imagine he'll refer me to a cardiologist because of my age but we'll see. h had to wear one of those monitors awhile back - his turned out to be normal so he just checks in with cardiologist a couple times a year now.
And yes, actually
but it will be good to get it checked out anyway.
