I am not a medical professional. But I have had personal experience with AFIB. You said your husband said there is no way to break AFIB.
When I was in hospital in Clearmont Florida for a possible infection of my Pacemaker wires I developed AFIB. The cardiologists came in and said if it does not right itself on it's own we will do a cardioconversion.
It did correct itself on it's own. But can you asked your husband if I was told wrong in hospital that cardio-conversion could be done to stop the AFIB?
I get AFIB on and off for decades now. It is only temporary. I was told by my EP that the biggest threat of AFIB is strokes as can lead to clots. For many though the feeling is drastic and affects their quality of life to the point they are under tremendous stress and anxiety which is on it's own a serious health condition that needs medical attention.
