Correlation or causation?

People that are more anxious about AFib might be more likely to buy a device to monitor it.

I bought an Apple Watch for anything but fitness. If I happen to get a little anxiety, the watch will pipe up to mention something about my heart rate, and that usually just makes the anxiety worse.
