Hello doctor! I've been suffering from atrial fibrillation for over 2 years now. I went to the doctor and treated but now it's still not good but my heart is still arrhythmia regularly. Because I have to go to get medicine every month and conditions don't allow it, I sent a letter to the doctor today. Please advise me, what should I do now? Thanks you.

Hello! So you have chronic atrial cancer. In chronic atrial fibrillation, the ability to return to sinus rhythm (normal rhythm) is often absent. At this time, it is necessary to control the heart rate if it is fast.
Complications of atrial fibrillation are embolism, in which cerebral vascular occlusion is the most severe, in addition to limb embolism, intra-abdominal visceral occlusion. To prevent thromboembolic complications, anticoagulation must be used in most patients. You need to tell us what medicine you are taking, what is the cause of your atrial fibrillation, how old you are, have high blood pressure, have diabetes, have heart failure, have had an embolism, If you have any vascular disease, then we can give you complete instructions.
You should go to a reputable medical facility or one of the Vinmec Health System hospitals nationwide for more specific examination and advice.
Thank you for trusting and sending questions about Vinmec, looking forward to meeting you for more specific advice.
