When you exercise such as running, the number rises sharply, and when you sleep, the heart rate calms down with a low number.
If the number remains high even though you are not exercising, or if it is too low even when you are awake and active, you are suspected of being at risk for various illnesses.
For example, the type of arrhythmia that makes the pulse faster is called frequent arrhythmia (ablation), and conversely, if it is too slow, “bradycardia” is suspected.
These risks of high and low heart rate can be detected and notified by the Apple Watch, which constantly measures your heart rate.
How to receive notifications and how to set numbers?
To check your high and low heart rate detection settings on your Apple Watch, first open the Watch app on your iPhone.
It is an application of the horizontal clock icon on the upper left.
If you scroll down the screen from there, you will find the item “heart” of the heart symbol icon.
Next, let’s tap here.
On the displayed screen, you can check whether or not you are notified when “irregular heart rate rhythm (irregular heart rate suspected of atrial fibrillation)” is detected, as well as “high heart rate” and “low heart rate”. You can set the number to receive the notification of.
I don’t remember setting it in particular, but the low heart rate was set to 40 and the high heart rate was set to 120.
This value can be changed in increments of 10.
For high heart rates, you will be notified when your heart rate remains above the specified value for 10 minutes when it is considered resting.
Low heart rate is also a mechanism that sends a notification when your heart rate has been below the specified value for 10 minutes.
If you’re older or have a heart condition or risk of illness and want to constantly check your heart rate above or below, you should be able to reduce your risk of getting sick by using your Apple Watch with this setting in mind. !!
