I went into A-Fib on Wednesday, had my heart shocked back into rhythm on Thursday and I’m playing today.
That’s it.
According to Mayo Clinic, A-Fib, or Atrial fibrillation, is an irregular and often rapid heart rate that can increase your risk of strokes, heart failure, and other heart-related complications.
Despite having his heart shocked back into rhythm on Thursday, Watt says he will play.
The team has not commented on Watt's tweet.
