There are not really any natural remedies for atrial fibrillation. It is not usually life threatening. The risk with A-fib is the risk of stroke if you are not on an anticoagulant medication like warfarin. Since several other of your illnesses also put you at risk for stroke (diabetes, cholesterol, hypertension) I think you would benefit from an anticoagulant medication. Please talk to your doctor or cardiologist about this.
