A member asked:
Dear doctor, i'm suffering from irregular heartbeat, could it be from acute atrial fibrillation?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Possibly: Atrial fibrillation is one of many causes of an "irregular heart beat" but there are many other much more benign causes as well. Talk with your doctor and if they do not find it on ECG then talk to them about longer monitoring with a zio patch or event monitor.
