Can you have afib even though your heart rate is normal below 100 beats?

Yes, that is atrial fibrillation with controlled rate which can be naturally or under medication effect.

Yes, the majority of cases with ventricular rate consistently over 100/min are usually hospitalized due to symptoms from poor oxygenation, patients with a fib with controlled rate ( under 100/min) remain functional and are typically seen in the office.
