hi
you must show to a cardiologist who will determine exactly the cause of atrial fibrillation. Nowadays ablation of exiting centre in atrium is also done in those who don't respond to drugs
side effects if not found risky to vital organs may be tolerated for better solution of lowering bp and af with medications, but it should be under monitoring of a cardiologist in a hospital
so consult soon
best wishes
