Brief Answer:
NO!

Detailed Answer:
Hi and thanks so much for this query.

I am so sorry to hear about this sensation. These symptoms are not consistent with Afib. Given your age, it is unlikely. Fib presents with fluttering chest sensation. I think your symptoms might be related to anxiety or they are more transient of no pathological significance.

However, if you have any worries following this response I will recommend that we get an EKG done as this provides objective evidence and would put this to rest with a simple. cheap and fast test.

I hope this helps and guides. I wish you well. Feel free to follow up with me if need be.
