(upbeat music) - Symptomatic atrial fibrillation or undiagnosed atrial fibrillation can be a true medical emergency. Basically what it means is instead of your heartbeat being a normal up and down and consistent, your heart's kind of going like this. And you'll feel a flutter in your chest and it'll feel like it's beating rapidly.
This is a true medical emergency and you actually need to call 911. If it's something that just happens but no other symptoms, call your doctor right away, call your cardiologist.
If you don't have a cardiologist, we can help you get one. (upbeat music)
