Atrial fibrillation, pain

I have had AFIB for over 10 years and I do not recall having pain. I do recall feeling like something was not right and being uncomfortable.

@rainyday541 thank you, I start thinking about it I actually have some kind of pain, in the area before I was diagnosed,

I have never seen posts by anyone, and have no personal experience, with pain that could be linked to AF. The anxiety is something else, it can induce breathlessness, make you feel faint or agitated and you want to pace up and down the hallway...but never pain. What I would suspect is that, with a heart not beating very well, it might bring on temporary angina because the heart's own blood supply, carrying oxygen, is impeded in one or more important coronary arteries. So, I would put this to a cardiologist who will listen and believe that you experience pain.

@gloaming thank you, some cardiologists have their mind set, before you ever say anything

Before I was diagnosed with A-fib, I was on Alodipine, then on Cardizem while I waited for cardioversion, then very briefly on Flecainide while deciding on an ablation. I could feel my heartbeat at night almost all the time while awake and when at rest during the day--ever present. Since my ablation, I am off all those meds and I sleep at night without that sensation--it took me a few days to notice "Hey, I don't feel my heartbeat all the time!--(like normal people!) My friend with A-fib describes the same sensation. We often talked about wondering how anyone could have A-fib and not know it! Everyone is different but you are not alone and you are not wrong.

@sjm46 praise God I'm not alone, thank you
