Heather Hendershot바카라 게임 웹사이트™s new Apple Watch started to beep one night when she was watching TV with her husband. The watch warned her that her heart rate was around 120 beats per minute 바카라 게임 웹사이트” above normal for a 25-year-old who's just hanging out, she told .
The watch continued beeping every 10 minutes, warning Hendershot that something was off. At first, Hendershot says she thought the watch was just being funky, but when she timed her heartbeats herself, she saw that it was accurate.
According to the watch, her heartbeat got up to 160 beats per minute that night. So, the next day, Hendershot and her freaked-out husband went to an urgent-care clinic.
바카라 게임 웹사이트œI thought I might be sick and my body was just fighting infection, but my husband is a worrywart,바카라 게임 웹사이트 she said.
Urgent care sent her to the local emergency room where blood tests found Hendershot actually had moderate to severe hyperthyroidism. This happens when your thyroid sends too much of the hormone thyroxine into your bloodstream.
According to the , anyone can have an overactive thyroid, but it is much more common in women than men. It tends to run in families and causes complications between the ages of 20 and 40.

How did Hendershot never notice any of these symptoms before? Even her doctor told The Topeka Capital-Journal that her case was pretty bizarre.

"I바카라 게임 웹사이트™ve been doing this 25 years and it바카라 게임 웹사이트™s the first time ever I바카라 게임 웹사이트™ve heard someone tell me they didn바카라 게임 웹사이트™t notice anything and were later diagnosed with severe hyperthyroidism."
Hendershot now says she바카라 게임 웹사이트™s pretty thankful for that Apple Watch, 바카라 게임 웹사이트œIf I hadn바카라 게임 웹사이트™t been wearing it, I wouldn바카라 게임 웹사이트™t have known anything was wrong,바카라 게임 웹사이트 she said.
