Symptoms

This is for my husband who suffers from afib and since I have the opposite problem I can't help. He has siad that he feels a shooting pain and then it's almost as though his heart stops. He is currently on Metoprolol and flecainide. His normal symptoms are a heart rate that gets high and needs intervention to lower it. This is a new sympton and it has him concerned. Any wisdom out there? He doesn't have a PM he is just controlled.

Get him to the ER

I hope you got your husband to the ER. If not, I would take him now.

He should be checked out by a Doctor.

Hope it goes well.

Thanks for the reply.
My husband is kind of a funny fellow in that he has trouble explaining symptoms. He insists either his heart stopped (funny how he just stood there) or he had a heart attack. Problem is he has said he had a heart attack numerous times and there is no evidence of it.This happened at work and heaven forbid he leave. He was looking for advise because this is the fist time he has ever been sick and doesn't understand what is happening. Going to the ER or even a doctor is out of the question as he just won't go.

How does he know he has afib if he won't go to a Doctor?
He should see an EP.
