Has anyone experienced this ?

Two days before the Afib episode I was finding it hard to breath while eating .

Since the episode I am finding it hard to breath all the time.

Has anyone got any tips please ? Not a nice experience !

Is it a go to the doctor condition or will it pass ?

Thank you for any comments

Yes, I'd definitely get this checked out by your GP and if it gets worse I'd have no hesitation in calling 999.

Difficulty breathing all the time is a go to the doctor problem. It could be a side effect to medicine. An too high INR. Or other problems
