Charge 6 - Afib notifications

[codingqn]

My charge 6 afib notifications is on. I have been in afib for 3 days but the last norification was sent June 27th. It just stopped working. I can see my irratic heart rate going from 38 to 180 often. Any idea how to fix this? Thanks C

Hello @codingqn 

My apologies if you've already reviewed this information. This help page (<-- click) describes how the Fitbit AFib feature & notifications work:

Fitbit can only analyze your heart rhythm data for AFib when you’re still. Wear your consumer wrist-worn product often, especially to sleep, and sync your data often to help look for signs of AFib more often. We only send a notification if we see signs of an irregular rhythm in multiple readings, which means you might not receive irregular rhythm notifications if we’re not able to collect enough data each day.

I seem to recall the minimum still time is at least 10 minutes. The AFib feature does not track incidents in real time.

Hi I am still not seeing the notifications for afib. I was in fib actually had to go to the hospital to get cardioverted yet Fitbit sent me nothing. I was in fib from Monday to Thursday of last week. I am no longer in fib so I won't get notifications but obviously something is still wrong. Please advise. Is there any way to get that lost data from Mon-Thurs last week? Thanks Carol

Hello @codingqn 

The only data that I can think of that you can access would be your heart rate graphs. If you didn't get any AFib notifications last week, there's no Fitbit data to recover that I'm aware of. 

Did you do any ECG readings on your Charge 6 last week while you were in AFib?

The Charge 6 is one of the best and most reliable devices for detecting AFib, and I appreciate it a great deal for that reason. However, the other features of the Charge 6 seem rather mediocre to me.
I never experienced any issue with AFib detection with my charge 6 - and I really have it randomly - or as it is called paroxysmal .....

I actually had a cardiversion in the hospital.
