J.J. Watt to play against Panthers despite heart issue last week

J.J. Watt of the Arizona Cardinals took to Twitter on Sunday regarding a health scare he had last week.

Watt said he went into A-Fib on Wednesday and had his heart shocked back into rhythm the next day.

Watt did not seem pleased that his personal information had been leaked, understandably so.

Atrial fibrillation (A-fib) is an irregular and often very rapid heart rhythm (arrhythmia) that can lead to blood clots in the heart. A-fib increases the risk of stroke, heart failure, and other heart-related complications
