FAQs Newly Diagnosed: Remission
“Could my A-Fib go away on its own? I don’t want to take any medication. Can I just wait and see?”
On occasion A-Fib does go away on its own. In a process called “spontaneous remission” the body adjusts to whatever caused the A-Fib and starts beating normally without any treatment at all.
But don’t count on this happening.
You still need to be under a doctor’s care and monitoring. The biggest risk of not treating Atrial Fibrillation is increased risk of clots and stroke. If you are young and otherwise in good health, for now, you may not need any medication.
