Atrial fibrillation is a heart condition causing an irregular and often abnormally fast heart rate, which can result in blood clots in the heart. It increases the risk of stroke, heart failure, and other heart-related complications. Common causes include heart valve diseases and heart failure.
Your doctor may ask these questions to check for this disease:
Medications, such as beta blockers, are typically prescribed to control and restore a normal heart rhythm. The choice of medication depends on the cause of the atrial fibrillation. Medications to reduce stroke risk may also be prescribed.

Male, 50s
The questions asked and possible causes seemed spot on, putting me at ease for a next-step solution.
