Yes, mine started the day after my Ablation. I have been told it will go within 5-9 months, 3 months and counting. It may be something to do with the ? vagus/vagel nerve.

Buggar I still have to have the Ablation maybe seeing as I have the cough the Ablation will work in reverse and take the cough away can live in hope

I too have had a cough since cardioversion. As I was then put on Amiodarone which can cause lung problems I wondered if that was the cause. Was your medication changed after the cardioversion?

No still on the same meds I am allergic to amiodarone as I have LQTThanks for reply

There is something called phrenic nerve injury that causes coughing, could google to see if it pertains to you

Dear Mazza23

I had my cough as soon as I had a problem with fluid on the lungs. I had a cardioversion and am still coughing. I wondered if this meant there was still fluid on my lungs. I didn't have it drained off - was given a diuretic intravenously. Do you still have any fluid?

I had a chest X-ray chest is clear I am on two different diuretics a day doc doesn't think it is the phrenic nerve so an other mystery and ii have been taking the same meds for 20 months and it only started after CV I am having a CT scan of heart ,chest ect next week so will see what that turns up
