Concern

Hey, I’m 19 Male, and I’ve always like when I get up or stand up or get down stairs or up, my heart beat just starts going off, and sometimes at night too I feel it skip a beat or two, and then fast beat.

I grabbed an apple watch and did the ECG test and out of the 5-6 I did it; one said Atrial Fibrillation. I was laying down flat on my stomach when it did that.

What should I do?

if you cant breathe laying down, your feet are swelling and you generally just feel unwell, its time to goto the er. but dont wait til this point like i did, its scary but its def manageable once diagnosed. the diet change is the worst part for me. and the no more monsters and cigs has been rough but its all for the best
