My heart rate does not seem to be consistently high. I have both the Kardia and a blood pressure cuff, both are in my bedroon on the top floor of my house. If I give myself enough time after climbing the stairs, I get readings in the low 50s on both devices, if I read right after climbing stairs, it can be over 100. .

I'm George, the user name it assigned is the first part of my email address. I am on warfarin because when I signed up for Medicare, I had never been on a prescription drug for anything beyond an antibiotic so I did not sign up for Part D. The EP first said Eloquis, but that is ~$150/month for someone retired on a fixed income, warfarin is about $4/month.

I have no other known heart history, nothing noted on echo either.
Thanks, I will try Mayo, always up for a drive to Rochester. I'm a retired engineer and did a lot of work there at St. Mary's Hospital and some of the downtown clinic buildings. Didn't work on any EP or Cath labs there though.

I had a cardiac ablation 7 years ago. It worked and I have been symptom free. On Nov. 2, I received the Moderna booster and was very much not well. And then Afib showed up. Heart beat is floppy and irregular, but not fast. I wish I had known that the vaccine could set this off.

I've owned one since 2015 and have a lifetime premium account as an early adopter, so I have a lot of experience with it.
When it's wrong, it errs in the direction of saying "possible" afib. With runs of frequent PACs you might see that or "unclassified." Fair enough. If the device isn't certain but it suspects, that's what it should say and it does.

What Carey may be unaware of (as a successful ablatee who has not had afib in a few years, thankfully) is they give you different answers if you are a subscriber or not. Around February 2021, they started adding more analyses for premium account holders. Prior to that it would always say "possible" afib. Now it will say "atrial fibrillation" for premium accounts, but will still say "possible" afib for those who aren't subscribers.

Since cardioversion on 11/12, the Kardia has shown me "Normal" to "Possible AFib" to "Unclassified" and back again. I'm going to get a wearable monitor installed tomorrow to track for a couple weeks

My EP ( Natale trained) said that he will diagnose someone purely on the evidence of a Kardia or Apple Watch
