Versa 3 HRV feature

[Daughters3]

On January 15, I received a notification on my Versa 3 watch that my heart was beating in a irregular rhythm and I needed to contact my health care provider. My range was in the mid to high 90 and sometimes  reaching the low 100. I immediately message my PCP and got a appointment the next day. They administer an EKG and from the results I was rushed to the emergency room by ambulance with the diagnosis that I was in full AFIB condition. I spent 5 days in the hospital trying to get my heart back in sync.  Finally they had to use the paddles to do this and now I am feeling a lot better and my heart is ticking normal.  When the doctors heard how I found out that I was in AFIB because of my watch they were simply amazed since I had no other symptoms showing that I was in complete AFIB.  I am so glad that I always wear my Versa 3 and I went out and bought my wife one.  It was the watch alerting me that save me from more major issues with my heart..

 I participated in the Fitbit study that developed this feature.  It has helped a lot of people.
