No, but if they put you on any meds to suppress the extra beats, those meds may take a little time to work. Also, a fib can come-and-go. That happened to my mother. Sometimes she was in it, sometimes she wasn’t in a fib. Feeling an irregular pulse in your... Read more.

I have gotten a flu shot since I was 23 years old. I'm soon to be 69. I only got the flu once during that time. I think it's worth it.
