Does anyone else get neck pain with an AF episode

Just asking if anyone else gets a neck pain during and after an AF episode?

I’m not sure if it’s connected or not but thought I would ask. I’ve just had an episode this afternoon and it started with an intense pain under my left armpit and finished with a neck pain and the usual sickness

I think you must discuss this with your doctor Mitzicat. Some people do get pain with AF but many more do not and I think it needs investigation.

When I had my first episode of AF I was in hospital and they kept asking if I had chest pain and silly me did not think to say I had neck pain instead. You can feel pain from your heart in neck, jaw, even teeth! So do see your GP.

I feel pain like if you are clenching you teeth too hard. I feel it in my neck and jaws. You need to make sure your doc is aware as it may be something more ominous.
