Shortness of breath: Paroxysmal atrial fibrillation couold cause periodic shortness of breath but so can lots of other things. Shortness of breath...Just slight is not uncommon so if there's a specific reason you're concerned about atrial fibrillation ought to discuss with your doctor. There are tests we can do to see if a patient has it.
