Apple Watch causing headache, red eyes, and insomnia

Wearing the Apple Watch gave me a headache, red and heavy eyes, and a very heavy feeling overall. It woke me up after 3 hours of sleep, and I stayed awake for another 3 hours even after taking it off.

Anyone experienced?

Medical device interference. Apple Watch, some of the bands, and Apple Watch magnetic charging accessories contain magnets as well as components and/or radios that emit electromagnetic fields. These magnets and electromagnetic fields might interfere with medical devices.

Consult your physician and medical device manufacturer for information specific to your medical device and whether you need to maintain a safe distance of separation between your medical device and Apple Watch, some of the bands, and Apple Watch magnetic charging accessories. Manufacturers often provide recommendations on the safe use of their devices around wireless or magnetic products to prevent possible interference. If you suspect Apple Watch, some of the bands, and Apple Watch magnetic charging accessories are interfering with your medical device, stop using these products.

Medical devices such as implanted pacemakers and defibrillators may contain sensors that respond to magnets and radios when in close contact. To avoid any potential interactions with these devices, keep your Apple Watch, some of the bands, and Apple Watch magnetic charging accessories a safe distance away from your device (greater than 6 inches/15 cm, but consult with your physician and your device manufacturer for specific guidelines).
