Home BP monitor: Could be. Many devices do not work with irregular heartbeats. Take to Dr office and have them check it out. Some irregular heart beat problems do not get a strong beat every time to the wrist. That is reason one should listen to the heart to double check. You usually can hear more beats over chest than u feel in wrist. Ask Dr/nurse to show you how.
