If you have documented low levels of testosterone and if afib ante dates treatment than you can testosterone and continue the a fib treatment as advised. Though I did not understand who would you know or feel a fib is coming. The dose and blood levels are non linear meaning there is no fixed amount that enters for an injection given. You will know it only by doing blood test after treatment.
