Event preceding first AFMy father has afib and was hospitilized in 1996. After making a call to the hospital to check on him, I stood up, and at that moment I noticed something strange happening in my chest. One hour later, I was diagnosed with afib.
General healthgood health; non-smoker; non-drinker
