[|AI|]  Hi welcome to Chat Doctor. I understand your query and concern. Atrial fibrillation is known to cause fluctuations in blood pressure. You are currently placed on right kind of Chat Doctor. I advise you to have a baseline 2 dimensional echocardiography, ECG and lipid profile to assess the basic cardiac reserve of your heart. Restrict the intake of salt to less than 6g/day. Regular physical exercise in the form of brisk walk for 20 min a day for 5 days a week is pretty useful.
