Atrial Fibrillation

Symptoms and treatments
1

I had an episode the other day. Felt absolutely lifeless and my heart was racing. Got home from an errand and went straight to bed. By morning I was OK but my FitBit notified me of Atrial Fibrillation with heart rate recording from 39-172 for a couple of hours.

Apparently it’s common among older, fatter, hypertensive people in poor health. 4 ticks then! I didn’t feel dizzy though, or feel any chest pain. It can heighten the risk of a stroke or heart attack.

Has anyone else on here had an episode or worse, repeated incidences?

I am sorry that this happened. You’ll be talking to the doctor if you haven’t already, I assume?

I had something similar happen about 3 years ago, my sats went through the roof. Even now my heart beats a little bit faster and I get really tired. Doctor couldn’t explain what had happened and that is where my ms journey started i suppose.
