Any change

I always feel that any change in symptoms and we should check with a doctor.

A Fib is a REALLY fast fluttering of the heart. I thought it felt like a vibration in my chest. I've read that the heart beats 300-500 BPM during A Fib.

Stress CAN raise the heartrate, but I'd still get it checked out to be sure.

Take care,
Suze

It's much better to live with a pacemaker than to risk your life without one.
