Hi!: I am 60 years of age and last May ended up in a local hospital with what was diagnosed as atrial fibrillation where the heart beats at a much higher rate and can be treated with medication. You should be checked out immediately by a qualified physician or D.O. and I know how you feel as I have been there. My condition was brought on by asthma which was only very recently diagnosed. I hope you have a digital blood pressure cuff and can keep track of your blood pressure and heart rate. If I were you, it would be a good idea to be checked out right away. Take care and have faith that your answer will come if you seek out the proper help. Do not delay your treatment of this! Have a great day!

consult your doctor to rule out any cause related to your heart. thanks
