Afib: good question..there appear to be both structural and bioelectrical possible causes for afib. Some of the causes can have the 'normal' tests you list

Stress test, echo, two week Holter all normal. Thyroid, other blood work all normal. Having fluttering/skipping/racing heart beat of varying duration, severity, and timing. Could this be stress/panic attacks or even a hormone imbalance?
