I always knew when I was having an episode, but the data the Apple Watch provided help in finding triggers and that my episodes generally began around 6pm and averaged 12 hours in duration. Anything with caffeine in it was a trigger, as was heat and humidity.

If you're a hypochondriac, a smart watch might not be a good idea

I post a similar thread to FB, and one of the replies was from Marjorie M,, Marjie was my 1st crush in Kindergarten, she lived several houses up the street from me, and we walked to school daily, ANYWHO..

She purchased an Apple a couple of yrs ago, and shortly thereafter, the ECG/EKG "alarmed", she went to the ER, and it was verified she had an AFIB occurrence.

Now she's a believer, she doesn't Monkey around..

Others commented they also have one for AFIB.

Thanks for the comments
