Are Dizziness, Impaired Balance And Shortness Of Breath Suggestive Of A Fib?

My symptoms seem to possibly be Afib but my dr has not suggested that yet. I have dizziness and loss of balance along with fatigue. Shortness of breath is getting worse and nausea. I was diagnosed with sleep apnea years ago but never used machine. Would being checked for Afib be good idea?

Hello
If this is afib an EKG would immediately show that.

However, this could be anemia or a low thyroid condition, too, so you need blood work to check for those.
