Apple Watch alerts YouTuber to potential tachycardia
FYI - The Apple Watch in no way shape or form claims to be able to detect or warn of a heart attack. At most, it is looking a heart rate patterns and in the case of an ECG an obvious rhythm disturbance. I love my Apple Watch Series 5 but I know it ain't a heart attack detector by any means... good for fitness tracking though.lowededwookie said:
And yet you acted on the information that the watch gave you. That means the watch is doing it’s job. If you ignored it and the threat was real would you blame the watch because you didn’t act?tjwolf said:The AW tells you that your heart rate is elevated, but it doesn't tell you *why*. I recently went to the ER because my AW told me the same thing as this blogger. It turned out I was just dehydrated. I'm not advocating people not go to the ER when their AW tells them their heart rate is abnormally high. But in my case, I wish I had thought of dehydration as a possible cause and measured again after having had a few glasses of water. Would have saved me hours in the ER and quite a few dollars.
If you were dehydrated then great, the hospital would have hydrated you properly. If it was a real heart attack then great you got the treatment you needed. In either case you were treated correctly because you acted on the information given to you. Apple Watch did its job.
