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

yes funnily enough only thing I've done different is stopped drinking coffee and only drink decaffeinated now as that's all we had in hospital maybe it's that thanks for replying

What treatment has been suggested for your Asthma?

Asthma is potentially far more serious and life threatening than AFib
