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 .

So sorry to hear that you’re going through this.
Btw- my wife & her have had very similar experiences with low heart rate dips and both wear Apple Watches that record the heart rhythm that their cardiologist have reviewed. It’s just an added piece of documentation that might be helpful to your cardiologist.
Wishing you well.
