What can make my atrial fibrillation worse? what are the risks that my atrial fibrillation will become worse? (more symptomatic)

Atrial : Atrial fibrillation is an interesting heart rhythm because some people do not feel it at all while other people may be highly symptomatic with a very poor quality of life. There is a chance that your atrial fibrillation will become more symptomatic over time, but it is impossible to predict. Generally speaking, controlling all the cardiovascular risk factors gives you the best chance of preventing or minimizing symptoms from atrial fibrillation. This means maintaining good blood pressure and cholesterol and avoiding tobacco.

Symptoms can be wors: The symptoms of atrial fibrillation can get better or worse. But this does not mean the a fib is itself getting worse. Anything that makes you heart go faster, will give you a more significant sensation. Things like fever, stimulants (caffeine), stress, excitement will make your heart beat faster. But, again, this does not mean your condition is at all worse. Medications can also affect symptoms.
