The symptoms of occasional atrial fibrillation can range from no symptoms at all to chest pain and shortness of breath, lowered blood pressure, feelings of lightheadedness, weakness, confusion, and palpitations.

It is important to contact your doctor or seek emergency medical care immediately if you are experiencing chest pain. This is also a symptom of a heart attack.
