What Are The Symptoms Of Atrial Fibrillation?

I had an apt with my immunologist yesterday. When the nurse took my pulse, I noticed that she keep her fingers on my wrist and seemed to be counting the pulse a long time. When I asked her about it she said that my pulse was appeared to be skipping a beat every so often. She was not concerned about it at all. I was being seen due to sinus and chest infection. I have an immune deficiency which started about 2 yrs ago and the doctor had put me on Hizentra (immune globulin 13 grams). So today, I have been feeling a little tired. For the infection, I am on Levofloxacin & Prednisone. My blood pressure was right around 122/80. I am on Diovan 80 once a day. My question is if I could be experiencing AFib or PVC?
