I am new here. Diagnosed A fib nearly 4 years ago. On Rivaroxaban 20mg; Bisoprolol 2.5 xi, and Candesartan and Amlodipine. Have been getting many episodes of A fib recently, Doc gave ECG & Blood tests. Doc said all ok, but heart wasn't jumping at that time. Had ECKO over 3 years ago, showed some mild symptoms heart disease. There seems to be little chance of another ECKO these days. Still getting these A fib episodes, so what next? any advice

Hi, I have the Omron BP machine, I took photos of the readings when in normal rhythm, then when in AF to show to my uninterested GP. This seems to work!

Hi Paintbook, some Ormron blood pressure monitors have built in check for afib, they also can connect to your phone via bluetooth and this will build up a record of your blood pressure and heart rate (try to take it twice a day). The record can be shared with your GP. Worth trying.

In the meantime, stop telling fibs 😂😂
