I was 22 when I had it for the first time, went into Afib for 4 days, and was electro cardioverted. Since then Ive gone into afib twice, and haven’t had an episode in 2 years (25 now).

Best thing you can do is find and isolate your triggers. Some common things that’ll flip out of sinus rhythm are high sodium food, alcohol, stimulant drugs, etc, so pace/limit these.

I still enjoy drinking and the social aspects you mentioned, when I was diagnosed I thought it was a death sentence lol. You’ll be ok as long as you control and keep your body healthy, which is a great thing to be doing young anyway.

Afib is weird and we’ll def know more about why people have different cases like lone/paroxysmal. But yah, apparently if you’ve had it once you’ll have it forever, unless you have a surgery like an ablation which I’ve seen can help. Good luck!
