I have AF

[Ramblingross]

I've been woken up the last 2 nights with what feels like my heart beating heavy..it's quite frightening..l have no other problems that I've noticed in the daytime...my pulse feels normal..any advice please?...

Are you being treated for AF?

[Ramblingross in reply to Hidden]

Hiya...yes I've been put on Rivaroxaban..

[Hidden in reply to Ramblingross]

I would contact whoever is treating your AF and report the new symptom.

[Ramblingross in reply to Hidden]

I'm sure being aware of your heartbeat at times is common with AF sufferers or so I've been told....l had a meeting few days ago with my stroke nurse who seemed satisfied as much as she could be with my condition...l feel well in myself and not had the problem again since...

I’m not sure why you asked for advice!

[Ramblingross in reply to Hidden]

I asked for advice because I'm trying to understand my condition...l was concerned having felt my heart thumping in the night and wondered if l can expect this to happen without being too worried...is it a usual thing to expect?...
