Hello and thank you for using Chat Doctor. I carefully read you question and I understand your concern. You don't mention in your story if you treat your atrial fibrillation or not. If you are in atrial fibrillation for a long time and if you take regular medication for the frequency and anticoagulant for preventing thrombosis it is not a problem to travel or fly. You have just a little beat many high frequencies maybe because of stress. But if you are not treating your atrial fibrillation I would not recommend you to travel or fly. Because very high frequencies generated by stress may lead to unpleasant events. First you should beat your doctor to put you in a stable treatment and then you are free to travel like all other people. You should be on medications that stable your frequency and medications that prevent a thrombosis. Hope I was helpful. Best regards.
