Afib is quite a serious condition. You should get checked out ASAP if you have it.
I have a friend who had it over a period of time and left it go and almost died one day recently, we had an ambulance come get him and he wound up with a pacemaker withing 2 days.
Dont let it go.

Atrial fibrillation is an arrhythmia (irregular heartbeat). The top chambers of the heart (atria) quiver instead of beat. The ventricles beat irregularly.
People with a fib are at risk for forming blood clots that can break loose and cause strokes, so most people with this condition are on blood thinners.
Hope that answers your very brief question.
