Symptoms such as chest pain or heart racing may indicate atrial fibrillation, or #AFib, a type of irregular heartbeat. AFib puts people at a higher risk of stroke and these strokes are often more severe compared to those with other underlying causes. Talk to a healthcare provider if experiencing any of these symptoms, as only they can determine whether symptoms are indicative of AFib or another medical condition. #AFibAwarenessMonth | Bristol Myers Squibb

You know the expression, “when your heart skips a beat”? Well, that’s what it may feel like when you’re experiencing atrial fibrillation (AFib). It may also feel like thundering blasting, fist-pounding or a tennis match happening in the chest. If these symptoms sound familiar, speak with your doctor about the possibility of AFib.
