Madhya Pradesh Man Credits Apple Watch for Detecting Life-Threatening Heart Issue
A 26-year-old man from Nainpur, Madhya Pradesh, has credited his Apple Watch for saving his life after it alerted him to a potentially dangerous heart condition.
Sahil, who runs a rice manufacturing business, said it was an ordinary Wednesday that took an unexpected turn. While returning from Jabalpur after a work trip, he received a high heart-rate notification from his Apple Watch Series 9, a device he had been using for nearly three years.
At first, Sahil ignored the alert, assuming it was a minor glitch. But when his heart rate continued to stay unusually high even while sitting in his car, he decided to get it checked at a nearby clinic. Medical tests later revealed that his heart was under severe stress, and doctors said immediate attention likely prevented a major cardiac event.
“I didn’t feel any pain or discomfort, but the watch kept warning me,” Sahil shared. “When the doctor told me my heart rate could have led to something serious, I realised how lucky I was.”
Health experts say wearable technology like smartwatches is playing a growing role in preventive care, allowing users to track vital signs such as heart rate, blood oxygen levels, and sleep patterns.
For Sahil, the experience has made him more conscious about his health. “I’ve always liked technology, but now I truly understand how it can save lives,” he said, expressing gratitude toward the device that alerted him just in time.
