So my daughter insisted I get an Apple Watch because I am the caregiver for my wife (her mother) and it would be a problem if I fell or worse. A few days after I got my watch I was trying ECG and it said I had aFIB. I claimed BS because I was in the ER several months before for a different issue, and there was no sign of it. I called my primary care doctor and asked what I should do (thinking I would be laughed off the phone) and she said "make an appointment" I did and sure enough aFIB showed up so I was referred to a cardiologist. The cardiologist said "80% of those with aFIB don't know it until the stroke" I feel fortunate that my daughter insisted. (my two cents)
