Any devices that will alerts with an audible alarm for AFIB?
Are there any devices that one could wear that would have an audible alert if one goes into AFIB during sleep?

The Apple Watch will track your atrial fibrillation and even give you the ekg. It lets you know what percentage of time your in AF!
That's good to know. Thanks for passing it on.
As my doctor told me when I was diagnosed with A-fib and was totally freaked out, "this isn't going to kill you." Unless your husband has a totally rapid arrhythmia, he may not even be aware it is off. It certainly takes getting used to. If it comes and goes, he can pursue adjusting meds or look at lifestyle changes but it won't kill him!
Can't speak for an Apple device but with my Fit bit I use the high and low hearth rate monitoring to alert me to a possible case of Afib . Whether its a true case of Afib or not I am not sure but over say a year i have been given an alert from the watch for having a rate over 100 for 10 minutes and not indicating an exercise during that period. It seems to be a more reliable monitoring event that the actual monitoring of Afib.
