Hi guys I’ve not posted for ages but any help appreciated. I am currently on holiday in Spain and today I have had shaky arms and dizziness then this afternoon went into AF and still ropey now with mild headache. I have no medication and have not been put on any due to ME so just any advice welcome. Thanks in advance.

I assume you have your EHIC card and valid insurance (if required). You need to go along to their equivalent of A&E as no-one here can do a remote diagnosis.

As Michael says you should seek medical help as soon as you can rather than leave it. Take care Zena

I agree with MICHAELJH

I would seek some medical advice.

Just to be safe.

AF Puts u at increased risk of stroke/TIA

The fact u have a mild headache is a possible warning sign.

Shakes and dizziness are also a warning plus BP will be down.

Phone your insurer; they will tell you the best place to go but please get it checked.

Hiya thanks for your reply. Do you get pain in the left side of your chest? Also numb arms if I am laying down reading a book? What are they doing for you about this and do you suffer fatigue? Sorry about all the questions x
