Heart Rate Monitor Wildly Inaccurate

I bought my Garmin Instinct to help monitor my heart rate - I have super ventricular tachycardia and my heart rate will randomly spike up to 200 beats per minute. It's nice having the log of how often and how long this happens for my doctor. I'm currently laying on the couch, my heart's been around 170 for about the last 30 minutes, and the Garmin has been registering between 68-85. I've tightened it. Loosened it. Cleaned the back of the sensor. Cleaned my wrist. Turned the heart rate sensor on and off again. Anything I can do to make this function? Very frustrating. :-(
