Apple Watch Series 6 ECG not recognizing finger touch

My series 6 Apple Watch does not recognize my finger touch on the ECG. I have tried about all suggestions on the internet. I do not actually know when this stopped working. It has been quite a while. Since other family members have just recently found they were in A Fib, I would like this to work properly. Any suggestions?

I have done all you suggested and will call my doctor. After I took my watch off and tried to get a pulse from that wrist I had problems. So, perhaps

the problem is not in the ECG. Thank you.
