What Causes Fever, Weakness And Low BP When Diagnosed With Atrial Fibrillation?
Hello Dr. Andrew My husband was diagnosed with AFib a few days ago. He went to Emerg because he was running a fever and seemed very weak and felt like he had a virus... When he was in the emergency his blood pressure was around 170/85 and heart beat 85. His heart beat was usually around 45-55. He is has always been an athelete aand very active. He is 81. He also has had bypass surgery. In the last couple of days his blood pressure has dropped to 80-90/77 and pulse 129. This does not seem right to me. YYYY@YYYY

Hi,
Based on the history you have shared, the heart rate is high and the atrial fibrillation is not well controlled. Plus, the low blood press is not a good sign as well. I would recommend you to consult a cardiologist and get you treatment optimised.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Saddiq Ulabidin, General & Family Physician
