My husband works in the Oilfield and runs heavy duty equipment. He’s on rough terrain so there is a lot of vibration within the cab of the machinery. We are finding that his heart rate is spiking to 180+ just sitting in the machine pulling levers. Then when he stops, his HR will go down to normal ranges. He has gone to the Paramedics and everything and we don’t know what to do since he’s fine from what they can see… Does this mean that the sensor is not reading properly??

Welcome to the community, @Shanders86, I'm glad to see you posting here.
Thanks for letting me know about this situation with the heart rate tracked on your Charge 5.
I recommend you to check 'What factors can affect my heart-rate reading on my Fitbit device?', since several things may impact the heart rate tracked by the charge 5. The vibration can impact the heart rate to spike, since the heart of your husband is vibrating too.
