2. AFib's Rapid, Irregular Heartbeat
People with AFib may notice that their hearts don't feel like they're working normally. They may feel fluttery sensations in the chest that indicate an AFib episode. Usually painless, these sensations can be alarming and should be checked out by a physician.
The heartbeat pattern feels irregular, and the heart rate may step up between 100 and 175 beats per minute. A normal, resting heart rate is 60 to 100 beats per minute.1’Atrial fibrillation.’ Mayo Clinic. https://www.mayoclinic.org/diseases-conditions/atrial-fibrillation/symptoms-causes/syc-20350624
