hi I was diagnosed with AF three months ago was put on apixoban and bisoperol however bisoperol has been changed to verapamil after a four day stay in hospital where due to them using a nebuliser my heart rate went to 210 nebuliser was used for an asthma attack told never let anyone use a nebuliser on me again there's no danger of that though said this can happen however everything is fine now and I at home medication is suiting me no problem at all however to come to my story I am baffled sa I wear a Fitbit ever day and find it very accurate however since I was diagnosed with AF that's three months ago every day when I check my Fitbit nit says I am in AF however for last three days it's saying I am in normal rythm I'm carrying on taking my meds though but will discuss this change to my doctor I'm baffled can anyone throw any light on this please
