I was in hospital for 2 weeks I don’t think they knew I was there as I collapsed due a fib. I did not realise til I felt it a bit then I realised the drs I had to tell. Not going outside til I know I have been looked at.

Hi OE.

I don't know what to advise you really. I think you are doing the right thing staying put until you have spoken to a medic. It's important to inform he/she about any symptoms or concerns you have, as well as any previous medical conditions. They will be able to advise you on the appropriate course of action, which may include further medical evaluation or treatment.

I'm sure it will all work OK and you are playing it safe by getting it checked out.

Let us know how you get on.

Hello. You could have passed out for fast heart rate, ventrical tachycardia that have the potential to turn into vfib and cardiac arrest... I am talking from experience. Only a heart MRI showed serious problem with my heart with scare tissues.
