5) 12-03-11 at 1am A fib for about 40 mins hospital said take Fecinde Acetate. Converted back to sinus rythm without it.

Waitimg for hospital Appointment to see Cardiologist for Medication and Ablation. My question is, do i need meds, do i need Ablation my episodes are only 30 mins?

Has anybody experienced this with a low pulse of 60?

I was on meds and had an ablation however my feeling is that a doc somewhere must suspect that you have issues with the electrical passageways of your heart and that is why they are considering the ablation.  My pulse rate would nove into the 300's but trust me it didn't start out that way.  It began much much slower and progressively got worse.  But that was my situation and every one is different.  If you are experiencing rhythm issues then yep something has to be done for you to get it to calm down...with beta blockers like antenolol, toprol, etc. they are made to sort of correct the rhythm however with your pulse so low i would not think it would be safe to put you on a beta blocker because with that the effects are to lower your blood pressure and pulse rate both.  I would definately question everything and research as much as you can before making a decision on either.  Good luck with your appt.
