Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
After going through your medical details I understand your concern and I would like to tell you that in atrial fibrillation her heart rate will always be irregular as it’s name indicating fibrillation. Kindly continue with the prescribed medication and blood thinners to avoid complications like stroke.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
