Could have had undiagnosed AFib. I had it for six years before it was found. If you’re asymptomatic you’ll never know until something unrelated happens. A stroke would be the worst of those somethings. In my case it was a physical for health insurance. A better way to find out.

Funny you should mention Afib. I had it weeks after experiencing another ailment I’d never heard of ‘Pericarditis: A swelling and irritation of the thin saclike membrane surrounding the heart.

All I can say is, I’m so grateful for Veterans’ Health Insurance. Also back to a ‘If you see or feel something (strange), say something to a Doctor. That’s what they’re for.
I’m glad that you seem to have your Afib under control too.
