This Woman Had No Idea She Was Having A Heart Attack Until Her Apple Watch Alerted Her About Her Heart Rate
At the risk of sounding like Captain Obvious, our dependency on technology has considerably risen in recent years. Smartphones, smart TV’s, smart computers and even smartwatches have made it possible for us to have the world at our fingertips at all times. But of course, you know all this. What you might not know is that while a lot of people are claiming that our generation is addicted to technology (no argument there), it’s actually saving lives. For instance, a woman in the USA had no idea she was having a cardiac arrest until her Apple watch alerted her about her abnormally high heart rate. The surge in technology is a boon as much as it is a cruse.
Diane Feenstra from Michigan, USA, was warned about her unusually high heart rate by her Apple watch. After being informed, she called her husband to find out if this was concerning. He asked her to rush to the hospital immediately. After performing an EKG, Diane was informed that she was having a heart attack. If she hadn’t been wearing her Apple watch, she wouldn’t even know about her heart condition. It’s baffling.
Diane told WZZM 13, “The day in question, April 22, I had 169 beats per minute heart rate even though the most vigorous exercise I had done was to walk up 12 steps. So I called my husband at work and said do you think this is concerning? And he said call your doctor.”

Further adding, “Unlike men who feel an elephant on their chest many times, a woman’s symptoms are very different. I had pain going down my left hand, I had a little swelling in my left foot, I had indigestion that I just explained away as acid reflux that I was experiencing as I got older. The biggest thing was a pain in my shoulder and I figured I had vacuumed and put my muscles out of whack somehow.”
Soon after getting her EKG, Diane underwent a number of tests that showed she had a full blockage in the widow maker artery. She had to get a stent procedure to treat the condition. Now, Diana is encouraging everyone to check their heart rates every morning.
What I don’t understand is how she explained away all her symptoms as exhaustion or acid reflux. Diane’s Apple Watch literally saved her life. Maybe Apple should slash the prices so we can all be safe and aware of our heart’s condition. Do you think they will consider this argument?
