What's the difference between afib, palpitations and rapid heart rate?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
A.Fib, Palpitations : A.Fib is teh short form for atrial fibrillation which is a term used for irregular heart beat. Palpitations is actually a symptom , not a disease. The symptom that is felt in teh chest when you have a fast or irregular heart beat is called palpitations. Rapid heart rate is when your heart beats fast. Normal heart rate is between 60-100 beats/min. Anything faster than that would be a rapid heart ra.
