No insurance: You might have atrial fibrillation (http://www.mayoclinic.org/diseases-conditions/atrial-fibrillation/basics/definition/con-20027014). Regardless, you can obtain care even w/o insurance. Check out http://alvinblin.blogspot.com/p/low-cost-medicaldentalpharmacy-options.html for low cost, possibly free options. Find FamilyDoc 1st to help oversee your care. In meantime, go to ER if symptoms return.
