In a fit, healthy 18 year old. whats the worst that could happen if i have atrial fibrillation? normal echocardiogram,ekg,but didn't have palps during

Nothing: Other than the sensation of palpitation ,atrial fibrillation in young healthy persons are benign. Since in this age group the arrhythmia is often associated with a very rapid heart rate they often require treatment to control heart beat or intervention to convert them back to regular rhythm
