Too soon for cryoablation?

Has anyone else experienced this? My EP has recommended cryoablation. I was diagnosed 3 years ago and have about 10 episodes AF a year (lasting 3-12hrs) - currently managing with ‘pill-in-pocket’ Flecainide. Have also tried daily bisoprolol but I have low blood pressure and felt awful on it. He says the earlier I have cryoablation the more successful it will be and its more likely to slow down progression in the longer term if I avoid going into AF at all. But I’m nervous about the risks associated with cryoablation and the recovery from it, especially when I’m not in AF that often at the moment and feeling ok. Any advice would be appreciated!
