How long ago did you have the ablation? Could drugs still be in your system?

Mary,

Are these weird feelings likened to vibrations in the head or more like sounds inside the head?Are you on or have you been on Flecainide ? From my own experiences I suspect Flecainide as being the drug that played havoc with the nervous system.

Try your best to distract yourself as being tense will only exacerbate the sensation and also contact your GP for reassurance...

I had flashing in my eyes, and phoned the arithmia nurse at the hospital. They checked my meds and the only thing with side affects that affected the eyes was flecainide.
