Apple Watch Saved Life of a Man Who Did Not Know He Had a Heart Issue

Feb. 7, 2021

After receiving the gift from his loving wife, Bob started to explore his new device and discovered that the Heart Rate app was showing 127bpm, which is pretty high for Bob, even though he was at rest.

“I thought, ‘this is nuts’. If I was easing into a run, or cooling down, I’d definitely be hitting numbers like that”, said Bob.

Later in the day, the couple noticed more irregular heart rate readings on Bob’s Apple Watch. This unusual phenomenon led them to realize that something might be wrong.

“I started running and it started going down but then it would come back up. So that’s when I realized something may not be right here”, Bob told Apple.

As a result, the couple went to see a doctor for a physical check-up. As per his statements, Bob initially thought that the doctor would advise him to practice breathing exercises or do yoga. However, after just 10 minutes of talking with the doctor, Bob was taken to the ER in an ambulance.

The doctor surprisingly discovered an arrhythmia that was causing Bob’s heart rate fluctuations. This put Bob’s heart in a state as if he was running constantly for the past couple of weeks. However, as per Bob, he felt fine even though the results could have been devastating if it was left unchecked.

So, if Lori did not gift her husband the Apple Watch by saying“an investment in your health is an investment in our future”, Bob could have suffered a worse fate for his undetected heart issue.

“We truly believe that it saved his life. It doesn’t get any bigger than that.”, added Lori March, after her husband’s successful recovery.
