Hi!
I read your concern and would like to say that your diagnosis is : "Lone Atrial Fibrillation"
If i was your treating doctor i would suggest the following examinations:
ECG, ECHO cardiogram, Thyroid hormone levels and will try to turn you again in normal rhythm.
Don't worry to much in most of the cases Lone atrial fibrillation is related to Arterial hypertension.
