Today is one one those days where I am super glad I bit the bullet and finally got myself an Apple Watch. I was having some weird heart stuff going on yesterday (Suspected SVT) and was advised to go to A&E. Of course in the time I was waiting my resting heart rate returned to normal so to their tests everything was fine.
I had used the ECG app at the time to capture the problem I was having and the doctor actually requested to look at it and has helped me to get some medication and a cardiology referral.
So grateful to have such technology literally on my wrist to help me advocate for my health!
My friend, who has no history of heart disease in his family and is in better shape than all of us woke up one day not feeling great. Sure enough his AW told him he was in AFIB and had to go to ER. He has had another incident since. Now he is on meds. This was the push for me to get an AW since I do have heart disease in my family.
