What to do if i'm having a anxiety attack or a afib ?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Which is it?: Which is it? Anxiety or AF? (check your pulse, count it and see if it's regular or irregular - then report what you've found to your doctor). If you're short of breath or having chest pain, go to the ER.
