Afib and high diastolic value

Can he get a Kardia device ( 1 lead is $79) or a smartwatch?

When I am in afib my heart rate jumps around like that and so does my blood pressure. So I wondered if he is in afib a lot of the time.

Did the cardiologist inform him he was on Eliquis now due to afib? Sounds like there was afib found on the monitor. What percent of the time , I wonder.

I get very light-headed with afib. I also have low bp. I am sorry he is going through this. Is he going to see an electrophysiologist who might consider an ablation?

Thank you @windyshores for your quick response.
I will look into ordering a Kardia device as you suggested.

The cardiologist did not specifically mentioned Afib, but definitely saw some irregularities in his 2 holter readings, therefore Eliquis was the new med introduced (for a sec we thought that he feels dizzy because of this med). She recommended to see an arrhythmology specialist and an endocrinologist (high TSH) ASAP.
In the meantime (also being weekend) I am concerned if these BP values and symptoms are a major concern or if he will be ok until we get an appointment possibly next week to look into it?

Are these variations in BP from 144/96 to 120/100 normal? I understand you have similar ups and downs.
