Apple watch ecg - advice if possible

I am currently on monitoring for very occasional AF maybe once or twice a year. Taking 1.25 bisoprolol at night for 6 months to see if improves.

on occasion I get these odd flutter feelings and makes me feel quite anxious and a little sick - I managed to capture it tonight on my watch but it says Sinus so what could it be? Just a flutter or Ectpic beats.. anyone have an idea from my recording attached .. due to see the cardiologist in May but I could go sooner if I felt it was necessary - he has always assured me my heart is good structure but we need to investigate these odd episodes

Please get clarification from your cardiologist but here is what I can see:

Top - single atrial ectopic

Middle - atrial salvo (4 beats) and, after a few sinus beats, a single atrial ectopic

Bottom - atrial ectopic immediately followed by ventricular ectopic and, after a few sinus beats , an atrial couplet

Overall, mostly sinus rhythm.

Wow Thank you! What’s the difference between ectopics ( different ones ) and AF?

Ectopic just means out of place. i.e. missed or wrongly timed. Everybody has them but only we stupid AFers notice.

Not what you're looking for?
