This man made a conscious decision to use his Apple Watch to check his health. In my case, my Apple Watch gave me an unexpected message saying there was something wrong with my heart rate and I should check with my doctor. I had been feeling extra tired that day but I didn't know that grogginess could be a symptom of a heart problem, and my Apple Watch brought my condition to my attention. A couple of the nurses in the E.R. were so impressed that my Apple Watch detected this that they told me they were going to get one, too. Did it save my life? I think I can say "yes" without much exaggeration.

My advice is that if you feel abnormal in any way, including being unusually tired, use your Apple Watch's ECG. If it detects a problem, you'll have a permanent record of the problem when it occurred. (Although I'm not sure if a Medical Examiner will [or can] check your online HealthKit data if you should die before you get medical attention.) The quality of the Apple Watch ECG's readings aren't as good as the ones you get in a hospital, mostly because the hospital's readings are taken from a half dozen contact points on your chest, but it's better than nothing.

Also, at the end of an ECG there's an "Add Symptoms" button where you can choose to flag certain selectable symptoms. It's best to use this every time to make a conscious decision to review and record extra symptoms. If you have none, make the decision to click "None."

Do you know what his apple test result was? What was your test results? I got several notifications that my heart rate was unusually high 120bpm, but it was when I had covid and recovering. I also have been feeling more tired than usual lately. My test shows sinus rhythm though.

What's an "Apple Test Result"?

Nitesh Chopra, a dentist in Haryana, India, felt discomfort in his chest, prompting him to use the ECG function of the Apple Watch Series 6 to get a reading. After seeing the results, Chopra and wife Neha consulted a doctor about the symptoms and reading.
