I got this fingertip EKG thing because sometimes my blood pressure and pulse gets super high but I don't want to rush off to the ER. I've used it 3 times. 1 time it said unclassified the other 2 times it said tachycardia.

I looked that up and I guess I need to see a doctor or else I'll have a heart attack if its not treated.

Or some **** like that.

The answer is to go and see your doctor. Sitting worrying about it and self-diagnosing, or searching for a diagnosis on the Internet, is not the way to go.

If your blood pressure is consistently high, at home, then it may need treating. Your doctor may want to get a 24 hour ECG trace carried out on you, which will give a better idea of whether you are tachycardic and whether further tests need to be carried out.

Monitoring your own pulse is fine to some extent, but if you suffer from health anxiety, as I know from my own experience, all you may succeed in doing is pushing your pulse and blood pressure even higher. Seek professional advice.

See your doctor. That’s all you need to do about any symptoms. Self diagnosing isn’t going to take you no where
