Asymptomatic Atrial Fibrillation: How do you monitor?

I just had my first episode of AFib that sent me to the ER. During the 4hrs there I realized that I didn’t have symptoms once my hr got down to the 130’s-140’s. It makes me realize that the fleeting flutters I’ve had in the past were probably more than I realized at the time.
I converted to sinus rhythm after a bag of lactated ringers so I didn’t get any meds. Today I have a slight headache and some brain fog and fatigue.

@blanche123 it might be the other way around: when your afib stops, your heart rate might go down!

Have you worn a monitor or do you have a Kardia or Smart Watch? It will be good for you to find out if the "flutters" are related to afib.

You said they did not give you any meds, so I assume they did not suggest a blood thinner after the one episode, right?
