Rob: It sounds like you are just about "normal". I don't know of anyone who didn't experience these during the healing process. They seem to last for several months, then disappear.
If you have not had afib since around 30 days and are off meds except warfarin/coumadin and are feeling strong, you are doing well. If you are still on any anti-arrhythmic drug, ASK your doctor if you might be weaned from it, as most of them can contribute to irregular or rapid heartbeat, as strange as that sounds. I felt much better after my EP discontinued my small dosage of Rythmol at 30 days, although the various "flip-flops" continued until sometime around 6 months, particularily when I was sitting still or lying down.
