What Causes Elevated Pulse Rate While Suffering From Atrial Fibrillation?
70 year old male. I do have A-Fib. Just had episode where I was sweating significantly while driving home from picking up granddaughter. My pulse rate is elevated at 95 (not too unusual) but my blood pressure is 157 over 127. It is the 127 number I do not understand.

Hello,
As I see through you query the blood pressure is high. I suggest doing an electrocardiogram and a regular measurement of the blood pressure. I also recommend to follow up with a cardiologist for further elevation.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
