Has anyone ever received an A-Fib alert before? (alien.top)

Sometimes my heart skips a beat and then beats heart a couple times. But my watch never detected anything. I’m sure it’s just palpitations or even premature ventricular contraction. Just curious!

I have, last year in September. Felt off during a spinning session, sat in the locker room and got the alert. Heart at 160, fibrillating. Showed the EKG at the hospital and they rushed me in.

Had cardiac ablation last December, receiving weekly reports from the watch that say that in the past 7 days I had fibrillation 2% of the time or less; doing regular EKGs with the watch, and I could say that it really helped in saving me from bad outcomes. The risk of stroke, after fibrillation is quite high after fibrillating, so it’s not something you wanna overlook.
