Smartwatches May Cause Unnecessary Heart Rate Panic

Smartwatches can be helpful in detecting heart problems early, especially for people who already have heart or metabolic issues.

However, they are not medical devices and can sometimes give false alerts.

This can cause unnecessary worry and panic.

Doctors say that while smartwatches have benefits, people should not treat every alert as a medical emergency.

The readings can be affected by many harmless things, so it's important not to overreact.
