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.
