An EKG was performed and as guessed my heart was beating very irregularly and there was evidence of a murmur. Atrial fibrillation increases one's chance of stroke by allowing for possible clot formation in the upper chamber of the heart, however the warfarin you are on minimizes this risk. I hope this information is useful.
