Detailed Answer:
Hello There
After going through your medical query I understand your concern and I would like to tell you that atrial fibrillation is an auto immune rhythm disorder which can be reverted back to normal with cardioversion, but sometimes it can’t be reverted.
Atrial fibrillation is controlled with anti-arrhythmic and beta blocker drugs. It’s recommended for you to consult your treating cardiologist personally for same and suitable medication for you.
Hopefully this information will guide you properly.
Kind Regards
