How did you know to get tested for Afib?

I have a family history of Afib. Two of my brothers and I all had/have irregular heart rhythm, my sister gets occasional elevated heart rate. One of my brothers and I both feel Afib when it is occurring, so we went to cardiologists to get it sorted out on our own, but as has been stated in a previous comment, some people don't feel it. My other brother never felt his Afib (even when he felt horrible); his primary care physician diagnosed it during a routine physical exam.

So, if you feel something is off, at least see your PCP.

I was diagnosed with it with STROKE, and THYROID CANCER Papillary.

RAPID and PERSISTENT.

Looking back I should have questioned the uncontrollable sweating and having to stop whilst walking.

I didn't get tested, and dudn't know I had AFIB.
I went to the ER for month long virus. They took my blood presure and it was 140 over 90. They hooked me up to sensors and told me my heart did not have a good rhythm.
