Barb,
Many mazers get PACs, which feel like skipped beats. I'm assuming that that's what you're describing. With me they wax and wane. Before the maze I'd get PACs and frequently go into afib. Now all I get is a PAC every so often for a few hours, and then they go hibernate for a while. They don't cause anxiety now because I know they don't trigger afib and they're basically benign. You mentioned that they correspond to periods of stress or fatigue, which is very typical for PACs. Since you recorded them, your doctor should be able to give you the full scoop.
I'm glad that you're doing better now. Keep up the good work.
