How low do you let your heart rate go before seeing your doctor?

I don’t think you can get an accurate blood pressure if you are moving around during it. You could take your BP directly after or before but you would need to be still.

Having diverticulitis is extremely hard on my heart because of the strain of being clogged up.

Why don’t you just buy a simple oximeter? It gives you your heart rate and oxygen level and fits any big finger. And it’s cheaper than a wrist cuff.
My nurse told me that wrist cuffs are inaccurate and either get a pressure cuff that registers your heart rate through a meter or have a nurse (if you have one) measure your heart pressure the old fashioned way .
You can get a finger oximeter cheap unless you want a fancy one with your heart rate monitor graph. It’s a little bit like an ekg graph .
