Query over AF symptoms

Hi, just joined and while waiting to see GPs etc I was wondering if anyone can help. I get, what feels like to me, irregular heart rhythms but only very occasionally, like maybe 1 a month. It seems to come out of the blue and often in the evening, sometimes after exercise (fell running), sometimes not when I've had a quiet day. From what I've read it's not Flutter as my heart rate is fairly normal 60/70ish when it happens, not the super fast beats. My fully resting HR is more like 50, so when its up at 60/70 I notice it, especially when trying to sleep. It can often last all night and into the next day and then just vanish for some reason. Its not painful, just off-putting and uncomfortable, probably feel a bit tired and get a bit light headed if I go up stairs quickly. It can feel mostly normal and then a quick few beats that are faster/irregular and then back to more normal rate. The beats can sometimes feel quite heavy too, also disturbing.

Any thoughts out there in the meantime?

Think I posted in the wrong group, didn;t know what SVT was but now I do and don't think I have that. Joined AF Association as well.

Sorry think this is the wrong community. Trying AF Alliance instead!
