Heart rate over 200 then down to 51 quickly

My heart rate went up to over 200 for the first time ever yesterday and then dropped to 51 within a couple of mins.

It's really knocked my confidence in my new devise (have been using Fitbit for years but only recently got charge 6.)

Is this a known problem and is there a fix?

I used to see spikes like that.  I chalked them up to measurement errors.  I started cleaning the back of my Charge 6 and my wrist with clean water before I exercised and making sure I wore my watch 2 full fingers above my wrist.  It seemed to solve the problem.
