Detailed Answer:
Hello!
Thank you for the query.
As you have a-fib, your symptoms can be caused by some heart problem including ischemic heart disease. That is why you should not wait with it. Please consult your doctor as soon as possible and have heart ECG done at first and heart enzymes levels.
If the acute heart problem will be ruled out, you should consult gastrologist and consider gastroscopy.
Hope this will help. Feel free to ask further questions.
Regards.D
