What Is The Cause And Treatment For Atrial Fibrillation?
I have intermittent bouts of AF. I can tell when its going to start because I get a chest pain very similar to angina. I had a triple by pass 1 year ago and as a result have AF. Is this pain normal - it goes after a short while but the AF continus for sometimes 8 hours or even more. Thank you.

in atrial fibrillation your heart increase that leads to pain.
for atrial fibrillation you need to consume rate controlling drugs which you must be receiving so you can ask your physician to increase the dose so that will be controlled.
Also doctor will prescribe you some blood thinners like dabigatran , make sure you are receiving those to decrease risk of stroke.
