Afib and fainting

Yes, I have worn a monitor twice in the last 10 years. The first one showed nothing; the 2nd one last December (2023) showed pauses, one of which lasted almost 4 seconds as my heart was returning to sinus rhythm. I was never aware of any pausing, just the rapid heartbeat during Afib. I am wondering if I had a big pause which led to fainting. My EP has been on leave and his office has yet to get back to me about whether I need to be seen before an already scheduled January 2025 appointment.

You may want to reach out to them and explain your concern. Best they can do is move up your appointment. The worst they could do is say you don’t need to be seen. Either way you won’t be anxious about it.
