Maybe ...: Chronic Atrial fibrillation is not likely to be missed on even a routine ECG. A comprehensive history is not likely to miss it either. However, if your symptoms are episodic and you weren't having the symptoms while you were being tested, it is POSSIBLE that episodic atrial fibrillation or other Paroxysmal Supraventricular Tachycardias (PSVT) could cause those symptoms.
