Sharp pains in chest since AF episode

I’ve noticed since I had an AF episode about 4 weeks ago that I’m experiencing sharp pains in my heart occasionally.

Has anyone else had experience of this, is it normal & should I report to a doctor?

Thanks

Thanks for replying. Have you ever mentioned it to a doctor & had any feedback?

I did mention it but it seems every new symptom I get they just put down to one of my many problems and it's forgotten about 🤷‍♀️

You should tell your doc just in case it's something that needs dealing with.

Ok thanks for the advice, good to know I’m not alone & I wish you well

I wish you well to, hope it turns out to be just a niggle for you and nothing that needs sorting 🙂

Sometimes when I have AF I experience an uncomfortable pain which did used to cause me concern. However, I now realise that it is usually due to a build up of air from the irregular heartbeat, a couple of very loud burps and all is well again. Occasionally I run the area to assist with the release.

Rather like winding a baby☺

Hello. This is normal. I had exactly the same thing. I was told by the cardiologists it is caused by anxiety and different hormones going into the heart.

To date I haven't had stabbing pains and im on day 5 of takibg Bisoporol. Keep thinking positive and tune your mind out from the heart onto the present moment.

Best Wishes. Darren.

Thanks Darren

I’m on bisoprolol too & a blood thinner.

I realised today that I missed a blood thinner tablet the night before I got the pains which could just be a coincidence.

I think you’re right as stressing about every new pain can only make things worse.

I’ll try to zone out until my next cardiology appointment.

I’ve also bought a fit bit to keep track of my heart rate & finding it strangely reassuring!

All the best & thanks again.
