My resting heart rate ranges from 42 to 48bpm. This is based a Fitbit Charge 5 watch over the last three months. After an Afib episode it jumps to about 48 and then after 3 or 4 days it falls to about 44bpm. Five to ten days later it drops to about 42 and I enter another AFib episode for about 12 to

In 2019 I had Open Heart Surgery twice in the space of 11 days to fix an Ascending Thoracic Aortic Aneurysm. Spent a month in the cardiac unit and that's when I first developed Afib.

I wonder if anyone can advise me on the following - a bit of background - I have had AFib for the last few years - the vast majority of episodes required electric cardioversion to get back to NSR - I have had 11 of those.

Hi all, I have been in and out of hospital complaining about palpatations for years, had several 24 48 and 7 day monitors and nothing really showed up just eptopic beats and it got to a stage I'm convinced the cardio doc had enough of me because he said it's basicly " anxiety" my last letter from them
