Detailed Answer:
Hi and thank you for asking!
I read your query and understood your concerns.
Apparently there is no direct link between mouth pain and atrial fibrillation.
However all the efforts should be done to lower her BP below 140/90 mmHg and to stabilise her HR. Moreover she should start anticoagulation therapy (xarelto) to prevent future events especially stroke.
Hope this will be of help!
Wish you health!
