General & Family Physician,  's  Response
Dear friend,thank you for your consultation.I have gone through your case history and medicine profile.it seems that while your doctor has successfully treated your AF ,you have got a low heart beat.but I think within a few days your heartbeat will increase to normal.now it is natural you will feel sleepy because of weakness due to long illness.but certainly it is not not dangerous to fall asleep.but if the problem of sleep apnea is still there after a few days you should consult your cardiologist and GP for a proper clinical checkup and assessment of your health profile.my best wishes for you.thank you.
