Hi,

I had to have an electrical cardioversion due to fast AF 3 weeks ago. I have noticed since then my HR is lower than my normal baseline was pre cardioversion. It is regular in 60s and 50s where as before it would be 60s-70s I feel fine and I exercise regularly I’m 58.

Has anyone else experience of this please?
