Just a quick update on my apple watch warnings and Kardia mobile warnings post recently. I went to my GP who took an ecg and sent me to A&E with a referral letter. On triage they read the letter and the cardiac nurse looked at the ECG and said I can not see Afib at all but 1St degree heart block is jumping out at me. She then took another ECG which showed normal sinus rhythm and she pointed out the heart block. She also took blood pressure, listened to heart pulse and bloods etc and told me this is a common finding and she was not concerned. Now I always found that cardiac trained nurses are so much better than cardiologists and from experience know as much if not more. Thanks to all who replied to me on this post and I feel so much better today with normal sinus rhythm and no need to take any further medicine.

That makes sense and as an ex engineer I see your logic. The only thing I find with nurses is they are much more casual when they deal with something and the never appear to look for stuff that is not showing, which to be honest is what you are more or less saying anyway.
