How can I handle the symptoms of atrial fibrillation (A Fib) without letting fear control my life?

You shouldn't be afraid of atrial fibrillation. Atrial fibrillation is not dangerous. Atrial fibrillation is not life-threatening. It can cause symptoms that affect your quality-of-life, and we can treat them with medications. There may be a higher risk of stroke, and we can reduce that risk with blood thinning type drugs.
