In general, atrial fibrillation is not life-threatening. The key for atrial fibrillation is to control the heart rate, which can go very fast because the heart's beating irregular, and controlling the heart rate can make you feel better. The other issue with atrial fibrillation is when When the heart's beating irregularly rather than regularly, blood can pool, if it pools it can clot and if it clots it can fire off causing a stroke and it's important to then be assessed for whether you need blood thinners to reduce your risk of stroke.
