What Causes Palpitations While Suffering From Hypertension?

I am 46 years old with high blood pressure and cholesterol. I am also in the 99 percentile of women my age with my calcium scores. When I do cardio my heart rate sometimes gets to 215. I am wearing an Apple Watch and know what to do to get it down quickly. My resting heart rate runs between 80-90. Yesterday when I was putting on make up my heart rate went from 80 to 135 for less than a minute.i have recently had a stress test with normal results. Should I be concerned?

dear mam
thanks for writing to HCM
Although no idea about the medications you are on,but normally such experiences are common for similar patients of mine, may be in gym or in any stress.Calcium is more or less good and i appreciate for your concern towards health.Please take a good care of rest,food(more fibre and fluids).
A little salt restriction is good in diet.
Hope this helps
