YouTuber Alerted to Heart Instability by Apple Watch
Joel Telling is known by many as the “3D Printing Nerd” on YouTube, a fairly popular channel on the network. When he received a notification from his Apple Watch that his heart rate had increased to 120 BPM while idle, he decided to check himself into the hospital. It turns out that he was suffering from tachycardia and would need additional medical attention to minimize potential damage. Thankfully, Telling’s state drew more from increased physical stress than from actual medical threats to his health. But without that checkup, it is possible that things could have gotten far worse.
