I have ordered and will be picking up a Series 9 Apple watch today. I am quite anxious to understand the pattern of my AFib. I have been told I am in it all the time. My Cardiologist seemed to focus on my past alcohol consumption as the key concern. I have stopped drinking now and hope for improvement. I also have mild sleep apnea, am 30 pounds overweight, get out of breath easily and often sleep during the day. The next step for me is an eco-cardiogram to determine heart muscle strength and pumping volume. I hav also ordered the AFIB Cure by John Day MD. and Jarad Bunch to try to learn more about my condition. What a crazy situation to not have known about this condition before. I have not had a family doctor for the last 3 years (he retired) and now find myself having to poke around the Ontario health care system to find practitioners who can help out by pointing me in the right direction. By your own advocate.

I recently purchased an Apple 9 watch, mostly to monitor my Afib. It is very easy to use and accurate. One study showed it is 98% accurate compared to professional monitoring. I drink very occasionally (maybe a glass of wine once a month) and find that it can be a trigger, but not always. Stress can be a trigger. Sometimes there seems to be no trigger--I'm sleeping in bed and Afib wakes me up. Good luck finding a doctor.
@rcrothers you new watch will be helpful! I’ve had several version, and currently have the 9.
I have it synced to the Health app on my iPhone.
About 3 years ago I went into AFib and I was able to take an EKG and print the results from my phone to give to my doctor.

Hello, I am from ontario as well. Good luck in finding a dr. Here. They are few and far between, also seem to have gotten choosey with selecting there patients. Canada is broken. As for your AFIB , past alcohol consumption I have never heard of for that condition. You should seek a different opinion. Good luck
