heart rate jumps

I have a polar clock and chest heart monitor , monitor reading jumps between 165-220 drops down to normal in
about 14 seconds does this often during the day. Dont feel the change nor does my blood pressure monitor pick up the change in heart beat.
I am on Amiodarone 200 mg one time a day , diltiazem er 24 hr , coumadin 3times a day
Also started taking Apple vinegar w/mother and honey is that to strong of a acid for the pills?

I can't speak for the medications or other remedies, but on a few occasions I've had my polar heart monitor freak out on me.  Once I was jogging, and I had the alarm set to 165 bpm so I could stay in a certain zone.  I'm jogging along, feeling fine, and I hear this muffled beeping.  I'm barely breathing hard so I'm wondering what it is - then I finally recognize it as the Polar!  I look and it says 220!!!  I'm a bit panicked, so I put my finger to my carotid - no way is it going 240.  Felt like about 130-140.  I touch the watch to the strap, it shuts off for a moment, then turns back on and reads 140.  I try to put it out of my head and keep jogging, and about five minutes later it happens again.

I take off the strap, stuff it all into my pocket and finish my run.

Try taking your pulse manually next time it happens, or do like I did to get the thing to reset itself, then see what it reads.
