Apple Watch detects thyroid condition in women and saves your life
When she noticed that her device was working in a strange way, Heather's first thought was that Apple Watch needed repair, when in fact, it proved that she was trying to save her life.
Medical technology has developed a lot in recent years and today is able to diagnose several diseases with high efficiency and in real time. Even so, few people believe that certain devices are capable of such things - of announcing to people who are suffering unknowingly of different diseases and of providing them with the necessary help.
This is really what happened to Heather, a woman who has been living all her life thinking that she is healthy and without suffering from any disease. However, something strange happened one day when he put his Apple Watch on his wrist. The device began to alert her about an abnormally high heart rate, indicating that she is suffering from the thyroid.
Since she had never experienced symptoms, her first thought was that the device was failing. However, the noise continued all day, so she decided to visit a doctor.
She was extremely surprised when she discovered that she was suffering from hyperthyroidism and was rapidly approaching an arrhythmia, which would eventually have caused her death.
At first, Heather bought the watch with the intention that it could help her record her health, but she never expected a device like this to diagnose a condition that was threatening her life.
About Hyperthyroidism
Hyperthyroidism is very difficult to detect, especially since the sufferer may experience few or no symptoms, not to mention that in most cases it happens under the guise of other diseases. Some of these symptoms are moisture, hyperactive reflexes, trembling fingers or warm skin.
