Afib detection age

I believe I show symptoms of AFIB. I was wondering if I would still be able to use the AFIB detection on an Apple Watch if I am under the age of 22. If I were to get an Apple Watch, this feature would be the main reason to get one and I am wondering if I would even get to use it.

Wrist pain from watch I've had my Apple watch for several years and have had intermittent bouts of wrist pain (i wear it on left above the wrist). Recently it's gotten worse and was diagnosed with tendonitis of the tendons for pinky and ring finger. I am now thinking it's the watch, which I don't wear if I'm wearing a splint. So going to try a week without the watch, but no splint, to see if it gets better. Used to wear the watch at night but have stopped in an effort to decrease the tendonitis. I'm suspecting that I'll have to give up on the watch entirely. Anyone else experiencing this? I have a small wrist, 6" circumference.

Silence AFIB notifications Several months ago, I started getting Afib notifications on my watch. My doctor confirmed the condition and prescribed medication to control it. I left the setting on to collect data on my phone each day. The problem is that the watch notifies me many times each day. However, the notification is annoying and disturbing, especially at night as it wakes me up. i don’t want to stop the sampling, as I want to continue collecting historical data for review with my doctor. However, I do want to silence all Afib notifications on my watch. I can’t seem to figure out how to do this. Suggestions?

Apple states the AFib feature is not to be used by people under 22.

If you believe that you're showing signs of AFib, go see your doctor as soon as possible.
