Apple Watch is a great way to monitor. My cardiologist is happy with me using it. I wear it 24/7.
The Apple Watch is the reason I got help. I had two A-fib events two weeks a part, in the middle of the night. First time it happened I thought nothing of the alert. The second time I called my primary care doctor. They got me right in. Had a ECG, I was having irregular heart rhythm. After some other tests I was diagnosed with paroxysmal A-fib. Just started Eliquis.

Yes I was suggest Eliquis 2 years ago and I knew it was the one drug I would be willing to take the cost of it would have been very hard for me even with help from Medicare Blue so I chose to stay on a aspirin regiment. Month ago I Had a stroke and had to have a blood clot removed from my brain. It turned out ok but now I am taking Eliquis 2 x a day and I go without to pay for it. This experience was so hard on my children I have no choice . I have learned to be humble.

Yes, but do you have to initiate the ECG every time? Will Apple Watch monitor for afib without you initiating the ECG?
