Green said at one point, his heart rate was more than 150 beats per minute.
When Green went to the hospital, doctors told him he had a pulmonary embolism.
Green took to Twitter to share his gratitude about the alert, saying, “never thought a stupid lil wrist computer I bought 2 years ago would save my life.”
Green says the notification of his increased heart rate came while he wasn’t being active. The unusual scenario had him call a doctor.
The man shared his condition in a follow-up tweet saying he’s officially discharged and will be on blood thinners for life.
