and he knows that’s not normal. He called 9-1-1- instantly. Not saying he’s out of the weeds yet or anything, still in hospital. But I am super thankful for medical technology to help people know when there is an issue, and it’s something you can’t sleep off.

According to May Clinic, aFib is an irregular heartbeat that can lead to stroke and other issues.

Atrial fibrillation is an irregular and often rapid heart rate that can increase your risk of strokes, heart failure and other heart-related complications.

Apple Watch has a long history of helping to alert wearers of heart problems even if, as is the case here, they were already aware of difficulties.
