Atrial Fibrillation: The fact that you have had this since age 15 suggests possible congenital heart or valvular heart disease. Heart rate control important to prevent low blood pressure, shortness of breath and heart failure. Anticoagulation important for prevention of stroke due to blood clot formation in the heart.
