I laid down to go to sleep tonight and I could feel a fluttering in my chest, but much lower down than I usually feel my afib. It was at the base of my ribs, on the far left side.
It was a fluttering, the same fluttering I've seen in my echos, but I could feel a muscle flapping, almost vibrating. It was very scary because I feel my heart beat all the time, just about, and I've never felt anything like this. It is hard to describe. It felt like a flap was beating against the inside of my chest. Yuck.
I took my pulse while it was happening and my pulse seemed to be ok (for me, that is. I'm in afib) but the fluttering was so fast, it was hard to tell if they were in sync.
My heart rate is only 80 but I'm on a lot of Toprol.
Anyone ever get something like this?
