ARRHYTHMIAS

BACK IN 2001, GIVE OR TAKE A YEAR, I WAS DIAGNOSED WITH, I THINK, A FIB. MY HEART WENT OFF RHYTHM FOR ABOUT 24 HRS., IT WAS GOING ABOUT 2 HUNDRED SOMETHING BEATS A MIN. AFTER DOING A TEE, MY DR FOUND THAT MY MITRAL VALVE HAD NOT GROWN COMLETELY CLOSED. AND OCCASIONALLY THERE IS A BACK FLOW OF BLOOD THAT CAUSES MY HEART TO GO OFF RHYTHM. SINCE THEN, IT HAS NOT GONE OFF RHYTHM FOR LONGER THAN A MINUTE OR 2. HE HAS ME ON 50 MG OF METOPROLOL, BID. I KNOW THAT I'VE HEARD THE TERM A FIB FROM HIM AND OTHER DOCTORS. I AM NOW TO BE TREATED FOR ADHD AND THEY WILL NOT PUT ME ON STIMULANTS.
MY QUESTION IS: DO I REALLY HAVE "AFIB" OR IS IT SOMETHING ELSE?
This discussion is related to Mitral valve prolapse and palpitations.

That would be nearly impossible to tell given the information you provided. You should probably ask your doctor.
