72M here. I had AFib for about six years. Last year it became too much with 59 episodes lasting 20+ hours each. In February, I finally had a PF ablation. Easiest procedure I've ever had done. Zero pain. Zero problems. An out-patient procedure. Now, almost two months later, I may be free from AFib. I'm getting back to pushing harder with exercise and lifting. I did have three episodes soon after the ablation (the first lasting 5 hours and then two episodes lasting 10 minutes) but they warned me I might still have some transient episodes for a few months. My advice is to go for ablation. Check with your doctor, but there are a lot of benefits to the new pulsed field ablation. Note, that you will likely have to stay on blood thinner. At my age and with high blood pressure, they say that, even if my AFib is gone, my score is still too high.
