pulseSensor.begin(); times out ESP8266 wifi shield

Hello. The Wi-Fi module I am using is an ESP8266. I also verify that the TX and RX are correct. As stated in the post, I can communicate with my Wi-Fi module as it is sending Temp/Humidity to the Adafruit server just fine. The issue is when I implement the pulseSensor.begin() code, it immediately times out. Thank you for the response.
