Rapid heartbeat

A rapid heartbeat is very common during atrial fibrillation. The heart may beat much faster than normal, even at rest. Sustained rapid rates can worsen other symptoms like fatigue or shortness of breath. Tracking these episodes may help you recognize how often they happen and what surrounds them.
