As one MyHeartDiseaseTeam member shared, "I was so surprised, up until this time I felt fine. I was admitted into the hospital for something else. They told me there I had AFib."
If you're experiencing any of these symptoms or have concerns about your heart rhythm, it's important to talk with your doctor. They can perform tests like an ECG to diagnose AFib and help you develop a treatment plan.
