I am wondering if something is really wrong with my heart, like heart failure. I am an active meth user, I relapsed a few months ago but have been daily using these past 3-4 weeks. On and off using or the past few months. And then many many years ago I have had two couple year sessions of every day use. Here are a few things I am noticing:
1. Sometimes when I take hits my heart rate will drop significantly. For example from 110 to 62. Then it takes a little while to go back up to about 90ish or something. This happened a couple times when smoking today for the first time after about 12 hours of sleep. I will link to some pictures from my Apple Watch heart rate readings

2. The heart rate drop has also happened at other times, not directly related to smoking, but usually always when I am high. (Screenshots attached)

3. Recently my Apple Watch heart rate fluctuates significantly
Example: just from moving my arm to pickup a cup if goes from 89 to 105 within seconds, then back down to 95 within about 30 seconds.
My main question is:
1. Is this normal from meth use?
1. Does anyone else experience this?
2. Is this signs of heart failure or other issue?
I know I should stop smoking meth, that is a given and I am working on it. I just want to see if these symptoms mean something major is going on that I should take action on right now.
