Brief Answer:
As the holter monitor did not record it, it means that it is an error.
Detailed Answer:
Dear,
I understand your concern and would explain that a holter monitor is a much more accurate device compared to the Apple watch, regarding the heart rhythm.
So, the chances for an episode of tachycardia to be missed by a holter monitor are really scarse.
So, I would conclude that it could be an error of the apple watch or a moving artifact.
In my opinion, there is no reason to worry about it! You should try to rely more on the Holter monitor, as it is a an accurate medical device. The apple watch is a good tool to help orientate patients, but it is not a medical device.
Hope you will find this information helpful!
Please let me know in case of further uncertainties!
Wishing good health,

Hi
Ok so the one I am wearing I have uploaded a picture this one is I have to push if I feel an event … in regards to the Apple Watch it says today I went from 181 to 65 to 90 all within the same min if this actually happened would the holtor pick it up without me pushing it? Also would I feel this as that is fairly high
In the end in your opinion can I still do regular activities moderate walking for excersise and other

My opinion as follows:
Detailed Answer:
Dear,
Unfortunately I can't see any uploaded images on this question.
Maybe a system error.
Anyway, if this episode had happened, it would have been registered by the Holter monitoring and you would have felt palpitations, shortness of breath or lightheadedness.
I think that there is no need for any limitations to your physical activity.
Feel free to exercise normally.
I remain at your disposal for any further questions whenever you need!
Kind regards ,
