Upon waking up, he checked his Apple Watch to discover nearly 10 notifications alerting about a heart problem. The Redditor took the day off and tried to rest but the notifications didn’t stop, which prompted the wearer to contact the doctor. “I called out the rest of the day and tried to lay around, but it didn’t stop, so I scheduled a quick video with my Dr. My Dr had me check the times and pulse rates, had me check the oxygen and then went ahead and called 911 for me,” the Redditor said.
