Hi,
atrial flutter are due to abnormal electrical circuit in atria (smaller chambers in heart )
there are 2 ways of controlling it.
1. medications like B blocker
2. Catheter ablation in most cases depending on the underlying causes is curative and one doesn't need to take medications then after.
I suggest you consult a cardiologist or an electrophysiologist dealing with same.
