Detailed Answer:
Hi and thank you for asking!
l read your query and understood your concerns.

Your symptoms may be common in patients who have experienced recently atrial fibrillation. As a consequence you shouldn't worry.

If you were my patient I would recommend to drink plenty of water, add baby aspirin and betahistine to your therapy.

If the symptoms will persist after a couple of days you should contact a neurologist for further examinations.

Hope this will be of help!
Wish you health!
