Atrial Fibrillation (AF) – Heart racing? Skipping beats? Odd flutters in your chest? It could be AF

It might not just be stress or too much caffeine—it could be atrial fibrillation (AF), a common heart condition that many people don’t even realise they have.

In this video, Dr Sophie GP explains:

  • What AF actually is and why it happens
  • The warning signs you shouldn’t ignore
  • How it increases your risk of stroke—and how to lower that risk
  • The best lifestyle changes, medical treatments, and even surgical options

The good news? AF is manageable once you know about it.
