High heart rate alerts

I have set up high heart alerts on my Apple Watch, but I don’t receive any notifications. I can see there are no data sources visible in the heart section on the health app….. help!

You only get a notification if the watch detects a high heartbeart and you appear to have been inactive for 10 minutes.

Unable to turn on Sleep Apnea notifications on Apple Watch 10 I just got an Apple Watch 10 specifically for the sleep apnea tracking and notifications. I've read several articles about how to activate this, but the options aren't available in my Health App. You're supposed to be able to turn on notifications under Respiratory>Breathing Disturbances and Respiratory>Sleep Apnea Notifications, but neither of those pages has a place to turn on notifications. What am I missing? [Re-Titled by Moderator]

Apple Watch Heart Notifications & Sleep I have set up my Apple Watch and iPhone to provide notifications regarding my heart, and more specifically, to this question, high and low heart rates. I also use my Apple Watch and iPhone to track my sleep and have a sleep schedule set. I've found that when my phone is in the "sleep" focus mode, any health (heart) notifications that come during that time are silenced, and I wake up in the morning to see the notifications when sleep is turned off. Why are these notifications not coming through? It would seem to me that these should break through the "sleep" mode and alert me. These alerts should be presented at all times, regardless of any mode or silencing.
