Hello and thank you for sending a question.
Your question is a very good one and I will work on providing you with some information and recommendations.
Of course there is no way to tell if the chest pain you were experiencing was related to atrial fibrillation. I will say that it is remotely possible that a chauffeur Galation could cause chest pain but not typically.
Common symptoms of atrial fibrillation include fatigue or sensation of passing out or lightheadedness or palpitations. These are more classically associated with atrial fibrillation.
Thank you again for sending your question. Please let me know if you have any additional concerns you would like to discuss.
Sincerely,
Dr. Galamaga
