Atrial fibrillation

Question

Atrial fibrillation

Asked for Male, 59 Years

I have suffered atrial fibrillation(AF) this year and last year (at interval of one year). In both cases it was too late to sleep, and it was accompanied by stress ( high heart rate ) , and in those days the air was polluted. In both cases , the doctor with the flecainide medication removed the problem , but he asked me to eat the medication every day. Is it necessary to take medication all the time , or just use it in the event of the AF appear ? Other than that, I 've never got AF in normal.
