Doctor Answer is medically reviewed by SecondMedic medical review team.

Answered by Secondmedic Expert

 

There are many ways to control atrial fibrillation, but the most important is to find out what is causing it and address that issue. For example, if caffeine or alcohol are the cause, then you need to avoid those substances. Other causes could include heart disease, thyroid problems, or diabetes.

If the cause is unknown, your doctor may prescribe medication to help control the arrhythmia. Some common medications used for this purpose include beta blockers, calcium channel blockers, and anti-arrhythmic drugs. In some cases, surgery may be necessary to correct an underlying problem that is causing atrial fibrillation.
