Elizabeth,

http://www.ndvh.org/educate/abuse_in_america.html

1-800-799-SAFE (7233)
1-800-787-3224 (TTY)

These are numbers and the website for the national spouse abuse hotline.  If you are a victim of spouse abuse you can get help and be protected.  If your spouse checks your email or web site history, don't open the link at home.  The phone numbers above are open 24 hours per day.  If you need help, they can help.  Please don't live in fear, life is too short.

Stress can make a variety of arrhythmias worse -- it is because your adrenalin goes through the rough.  See your family doctor to consider a Holter monitor to help diagnose the arrhythmia.  More importantly, use it as an opportunity to discuss the abuse issues.  If your spouse does not let you go to the doctor alone, this is just another indication that you are being controlled.

I hope this helps and I hope you find peace soon.

Atrial fibrillation is not normal, but can be treated.  Do you have a history of Afib?  Are you sure that's what you are feeling?  

I'm sorry about what you're going through.  Make an appointment with your family doctor to discuss what's going on.

Here is the link for the abuse forum.  Hope things are OK.  Please don't hesitate to get help.  

Irregular heart beats can be worsened by stress.  However, it is best to have any new or changing symptoms checked out.
