Atrial Fibrilation and commercial flying

Hey all...I hold a CASA Class 1 medical but don't work as a commercial pilot at this point, although i am going to soon. I had lone AF 4 years ago and naturally reverted with no further issues. Lately as i've been trying to get fitter i've noticed i'm getting palpitations whilst i'm exerting myself during exercise. If i jump off the running machine it goes away. CASA doesn't know about my lone AF incident but now that this problem is starting to rear its head again, i obviously need to do something about it. I am worried that if CASA finds out that i will potentially lose my medical. Are there any pilots out there who have AF in any way and are still flying. I would really like some advice as to how to proceed and whether i will still be able to fly with my condition. Thanks
