Some people with atrial fibrillation say it feels like their heart could flop out of their chests. Others feel like they're about to pass out. And still others feel nothing at all.
Atrial fibrillation (A-fib) is the most common form of heart arrhythmia, or irregular heartbeat, affecting 2.7-6.1 million people in the United States, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).
Although A-fib disorders may appear with a variety of symptoms, they all have the same cause - irregular and rapid beating of the upper chambers of the heart.
