I wouldn’t schedule an Ablation or other medical procedure based solely on FitBit results, however, I might have never seen a doctor if not for my FitBit. First visit to my PC doc caught my Afib on EKG. The next 3 med EKGs did not. I don’t trust my first cardiologist. My FitBit started showing over 12 notices per day with several incidents in each within the week after I got the first Pfizer Covid vax shot. And continued until the morning of my Ablation. A mobile Kardia won’t catch Afib if not active during test.

Assuming I would not see a cardiologist for Afib until I had real symptoms or a general physical caught it, my Afib would be 15 months or more advanced before treatment. Not bad for a sports watch. And it tells time. I trust FitBit … at least for time.

I say your awareness is heightened pay attention better to your body. If you feel it coming on rest your beautiful head.. Rest my sweet its your blessing to love yourself more.

Check with your cardiologist. What treatment are you on? Any symptom change?

My primary are doc liked Fitbit My roommate in college is a cardiologist and said he should get one based on my experience. Fitbit is a tool to be used properly. Sounds to me like FitBit is notifying you of a change that could be important. Take good care of yourself and use your tools.

I agree we should advocate for ourselves

I am glad you went to a doctor after FitBit showed you to have AFIB. I had already been diagnosed with it but it would have helped if I had had it sooner. Of course, doctors are going to tell you not to trust these devices. Even the device says it is not a diagnosis and to see your doctor. However, it helps us keep up with our own health and not have to depend on a next doc visit.
