I felt it right away my heartbeat in my throat and my chest. I felt the irregularity and after 30 minutes I started to feel weaker. I thought first I had a panic attack, but having had them in the past, I felt there were some differences. In my PA, something calm down after 10-15 minutes and although I can have palpitations, I don’t feel the heartbeat irregular. I have now an iWatch that can measure heartbeat and if I have a AFib episode, it will tell me. Hope this answers your question.

Yes. That helps. Good thing you checked it out.
My dad has a history with it. He had quadruple bypass back in 2000. Has been on meds since then with one cardioversion. He has it again at 87. I guess I’d like to be sure I don’t have it. I have history of anxiety, but cardio tests always good. Do you know if afib would show up on a blood pressure monitor if you took it during an episode?
Was wondering about alternate options for my dad, considering his age. He isn’t interested in any further treatments, other than his meds.
