pericarditis and soon after I came home I started having frequent skips and heart rate would drop to 30's sometimes for 5 to 10 mins. I was referred to a special heart dr and at the time he saw me I was having a first time afib that he got on an ekg. He scheduled me for cardioversion but I am not sure that is what I should do as I have had only one afib but I continue to have slow pulse, not as often or as long but still slow. Has any one else had this problem?
