That's one of afib's mysteries. The only thing I've noticed that seem to correlate well are symptoms and persistence. Highly symptomatic people are almost always paroxysmal, and asymptomatic people are almost always persistent. Also, persistent afibbers usuallly don't have as high heart rates.

It’s definitely an individual thing. I am very symptomatic, experiencing chest, arm and jaw pain, shortness of breath, passing out and extreme dizziness. My heart rate like Carey’s around 180, but has slipped into the 200s plus. I have given up going to the ER an try to manage it at home.
I wish for a quieter heart on a daily basis.

Your lack of symptoms with the diltiazem is because it caps your heart rate. No matter how hard you push yourself, it won't let your HR go above some number. For me on 100 mg of metoprolol, that number was 105. No matter how hard I pushed, I could not get my HR over 105. Unfortunately, the outcome of that equation is it limits performance. For example, there's a local hill I use to measure my conditioning level on my bike. I ride up it at a modest pace of 12 mph and when well conditioned I get to the top with a HR of about 110. When deconditioned, it will be more like 130. While taking metoprolol, I simply could not get to the top of that hill at 12 mph without huffing and puffing like someone dying of heart failure because a HR of 105 just can't do the job for me.
