Irregular Rhythm Notification saved my life

[Shelley1964]

Thank you! My fitbit sent me notifications that I may have afib. Because of this I went to a doctor which resulted in many tests.  The result was that I do have afib and I am now receiving treatment. So I just wanted to say thank you!

Wow @Shelley1964 and thanks for sharing. It's good you went to the doctor to get those tests and now are aware of your afib. I have a family member with afib, although she doesn't wear a Fitbit. Glad you're under medical care and took the time to let others know how the Fitbit helped you.

Merry Christmas!

Hi @Shelley1964   I moved your post to the Mind & Body forum.  I think it is a better forum for you to share your story.  It will reach a wider audience.

I participated in the Fitbit study that developed this feature.  I'm happy to have been a part in the development of a life saving procedure.
