Think AF could be creeping back. Fibricheck shows mild regularities on report but looks a bit chaotic.Emay (like kardia but cheaper) .Not very good with pulse.Seems to be just missing odd beat .Pulse rate regular.Could it just be settling in period from Cardioversion on 8th.Arrythmia nurse says see how I go .Ring next week if not better.

As I'm sure you know, cardioversion doesn't cure AF. Like resetting the hands to the correct time on a clock that doesn't keep perfect time, it will go out of timing again - maybe after 5 minutes, maybe a year or two.It's impossible to say if your mild irregularities are signalling the return of AF and the nurse was spot on saying let's see what happens over the next few days.

Even if it does return, the CV did convert you to NSR, which is encouraging as it means you may respond well to ablation or medication.
