I had a hole in heart repair at 7 years old. No symptoms and then I had a routine healthy heart check at 40 and discovered I have permanent afib. Had a resting heart rate of 104bpm and irregular heart rhythm. A few years on I am on 5mg bisoprolol and my resting heart rate is down to around 80bpm still totally wacky heart rhythm.
