I wrote about my Apple Watch and it’s activity tracking yesterday but I’ve been waiting for the EKG capability to be activated. I have had arrhythmias for years and when I’m not feeling well, I like being able to see my EKG, it reassures me that everything is OK. Now that I’ve been diagnosed with thyroid cancer and am receiving a dose of thyroid replacement hormone high enough to suppress my TSH (and the cancer), I’m at a higher risk for atrial fibrillation and I like having the ability to run an EKG if I feel like something isn’t right. I’ve been using a Karda device for a couple years but it will be much more convenient to be able to use my watch and it will store the EKGs and allow me to print them out for my Doctor too. I set up the EKG app tonight and ran a couple EKGs to test it.
