I have a few different heart arrhythmia’s and two of them come with some very high heart rates, well over 200 beats per minute. My husband has AFIB and he also gets a really high heart rate when he is in AFIB, sometimes takes days before he converts back to sinus rhythm. The doctors are rarely worried about his heart rate being so high for that long, he has only had cardio version twice and they only did it because he was so short of breath he couldn’t walk two feet.
Your gonna be fine.
