A fit professional firefighter is crediting his Apple Watch for helping to save his life when he suffered a heart attack after playing road hockey with his son.
During the game, Travis Chalmers of Elmsdale, Nova Scotia said he suddenly felt a “warm sensation” in his chest, along with a splitting headache. At first, he thought it was a flu or cold coming on and “shrugged it off,” he said.
“About a half hour later, I’m laying down with my daughter and my heart rate is still beating out of my chest,” he told Canada’s Global News. He then glanced at his Apple Watch, which told him he was experiencing atrial fibrillation.
