Went to the ER last April thinking I might be having a heart attack. They filled me with IVs and said it was Afib. Took hours for my blood pressure and heart rate to drop to normal. They wanted to admit me, but I signed the release and went home.
Visited my cardiologist who told me it was common and to keep them informed. He said it’s not life threatening unless it happens a lot. And even then there are meds to mitigate the threat.
In June and then July I had two minor, shorter Afib episodes. My cardiologist prescribed Metoprolol and advised I take one full dose aspirin daily.
No Afib since first week of July. I happen to have my yearly cardio visit this week and I plan to ask a lot of questions.
I had the two Pfizer jabs in August. No idea if there’s a connection.
Ask about a cardiac ablation for AFIB
