I am 23 years old and have been having atrial fibrillation episodes for years and years, at least a decade. I have been getting more just recently as well as atrial contractions it would seem. I have had an MRI, a stress test, and a few echo's. My doctor, (Greg Feld) of UCSD has explained to me that I should get an ablation.

I used to lift heavy, relatively, and I am afraid if I get the ablation, I wont have 100% capability of my heart. I am fearing there will be long term complications or something I don't really know about that will effect me.

Can anyone tell me if its worth it? What problems occur after?
