Is Atrial Fibrillation, Related With Skipping Of Heart Beats?
I had afib. I had an ablation and the afib was corrected. I also have apace maker . i send a transmission monthly. Currently my heart is pacing itself and as of 2 weeks ago it still showed no signs of a fib. But i have been experiencing skipped beats. I noticed that on some mornings when I wake up they are more prominent. Why the skipped beats and why more prominent in the am?

Hello,
I would explain that some skipped heartbeats are quite normal during physical activity and emotional stress.
This may be a normal physiological reaction to waking up, which imposes high stress to the body, which has been resting all night.
In my opinion, there is no reason to panic.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
