Is this Afib?

Hi all I’m new here.

I’m after some advice really. Long story short I was referred to a cardiologist Feb 2020 after an ecg showed arrhythmia. Symptoms were palpitations, shortness of breath, fatigue. (I’m 40)

Then lockdown hit and I never heard anything. My symptoms started getting worse and I chased with my Gp who has now chased twice for my cardiologist appointment and still nothing!

My heart rate is quite often over 100, I’m tired, out of breath and get palpitations.

Last night I had a strange episode where I went dizzy and shaky. My heart rate plummeted to 54 and my oxygen level was low and I had diarrhoea.

This morning heart rate is over 100 again and feeling unwell.

Does this sound like afib? Im going to call my gp again tomorrow as it’s making me feel more and more unwell.

Thanks in advance for and insight /advice.

Thank you.In waiting for GP to call back today.

I have a pulse oximeter so I’ve been taking video and photos of that to document my pulse.

GP has given me a Kardia to use for 2 weeks. Waiting list for cardiologist is 9 months! So GP is keen to get diagnosis and get me on meds ASAP.
