What Should I Do For Chest Pain And Palpitations While Suffering From Atrial Fibrillation?

I have been diagnosed with a fib and i had an ablation done in 2017. I have a loop recorder and my doctor reports that everything is resolved. But i still have random sudden chest pain that is mild and goes away in short time. My heart still races as well. what should i do on getting a second opinion?

Hi,

In atrial fibrillation is symptomatic with raised ventricular rate means you may get ECG once again. These people are more prone to develop heart failure or atrial thrombus formation and stroke.

You need to control heart rate and rhythm so for that first you get it done ECG and echocardiogram. Need amiodarone, diltiazem or an oral anticoagulant to prevent thrombus. please consult your cardiologist he will examine and treat you accordingly.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Take care
