6 months after ablation.

[Col55]

Hi folks,

I still get small missed beats but have been feeling a bit better especially now I have been taken off my daronadrone tablets.that was until yesterday when I was sitting at my desk and felt my heart just about stop then start again but very slowly returning to a constant beat.this always makes me feel unwell for a couple of days I.e heavy legs ,bad head,and ice cold hands (anybody else get ice cold hands).i am waiting to get a recorder on for 48hrs,hope it catches something?.

Hi Col - I get ice cold hands and feet and put it down to taking warfarin. Are you taking any medicine now as that could possibly be causing your slow heart rate? Best wishes.

Oh I do hope that you improve. Maybe it is time to call your specialist?

I am also coming up to 6 months and am coming off Amiodorone. Hardly missed a beat so far. Am keeping my fingers crossed and touching wood all at the same time. It really has been so good not having to put up with that damned AF. Good luck.

I get everything except the cold hands. I tend to run warm. Good luck with the monitor.

Hi jeanjeannie 50, I'm not on any tablets and I am a very warm person usually ,I only get ice cold hands when I have a bad a/f episode. Hopefully my consultant can sort me out. Thank you all for replying.

Is that your 1st ablation? If it is you may need a second go and discuss this with your GP. I'm not an EP but I was shocked to find gaps had developed in my last ablation after only 62 days!!. The only symptoms I was getting were runs of ectopics and then the odd palpitations and even though my heart was appearing to function normally gaps had developed and I would have ended up going back anyway.
