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.

@andreaag15 I can only say that I feel safe 🙂 The electrophysiologist is an expert in arrythmia.
If the TSH is high, then thyroid function is low, according to what is online and my doc. So that would not speed up the heart. But he would need to be careful with thyroid meds I would think, so that function doesn't go too high. I took my daughter's low dose supplement by mistake (long story) and my heart went crazy!
Maybe someone else knows more about this combo of issues and will chime in.
Electrophysiologist (EP) and endo can work together, hopefully.
