Hi Ronnie, <br>When I was diagnosed with aFib my cardiologist told me that if I experienced dizziness leading to a faint I should go to emergency since it could be symptom of ventricular fib which needs immediate intervention. Without being alarmed it is important to discuss all symptoms with your doctor and have a plan for different scenarios. I know that always helped me. <br>Good luck, <br>Martishka
