Can Afib cause extreme fatigue, lightheadedness, and general unwell feelings even if you are not currently in Afib?

Often I wake up during the night and feel a rapid fluttering in my chest, even though my pulse at my wrist is normal. I had a few instances of this when I was wearing the 7 day monitor, but my EP said nothing showed on the report.

What watch does he use?
I have an Apple Watch version 5, and I don't think it monitors all that data.
I know the version 6 actually monitors blood oxygen levels.
I may trade mine in when the new version comes out.

The Apple Watch is useless with regard to afib. It won't even attempt to diagnose anything with a rate over 120, and their support people won't discuss it with you if you've been previously diagnosed with afib. It's an expensive, useless device if you have afib.

You can tell if you're in afib without any devices at all. Just feel your pulse. Is it a regular rhythm? You're not in afib. Is it chaotic and completely irregular? You're in afib.

Afib is irregularly irregular. It's the only fully chaotic HR.
Runs of PVCs (or PACs) always have normal beats in between.

Or PVCs.

Also, with PVCs and PACs you'll feel particularly strong pulses when they occur, but with afib each pulse feels about the same.

Not in my case, as I noted above, the pulse wave amplitude in afib for me is highly variable.

Sure, it's more variable with afib than with ectopics on top of NSR, but only if you have measuring devices. If you're simply feeling a radial pulse, the variability won't be that noticeable with afib, but with frequent PVCs and PACs it will be obvious. I'm only referring to manual palpating a pulse, not using anything involving devices.
