How do you know your heart is doing that? Just something you feel within you when it happens?

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.

Dont worry, palpitations are harmless unless it happens every hour or two. I have 90-100bpm resting heart rate, 175bmp while climbing stairs and 80 asleep. Done ultrasound heart scan, 24h heart monitor and blood work all came perfect. Don’t RUSH to ER like other said but schedule a visit to cardiologist just to ease your mind.

Apple Watch detected my dad going into AFib. He went to the doctor and it was corrected. I’m going to guess that after Christmas he and I won’t be the only people in our family with Apple Watches anymore.
