Hi Suzy

Yes all normal - just relax and take it easy - it takes a while for your ticker to get over the trauma it has been put through. don't rush it - everyone is different but you will know when you can do more - it took me 8 to 10 weeks but every week you will feel better - just give your ticker time to adjust

Of course Suzy TS quite normal.It takes at least three months for the heart to fully heal and sometimes longer so be patient and don't push yourself too hard. Enjoy every day and only do what you are comfortable with.

I think my one question would be where are the chest pains ?  Central or to the left.  Don't worry - it's not a heart attack or anything but might need addressing if it doesn't go away.

But as everyone says, this is normal.  Although they call it a 'procedure' your heart probably regards an ablation as a full scale assault on it !!

Hi Mike,

its to the left  but the pains are not bad   just slight niggly  pains now and again, but think its where the heart  is healing, if they get any worse   i will see about it ,        Suzy

Ok - that sounds like it will go in time.

Reading your post, I think it must be somehow. After my cryoablation, I still have PAF, and AF. Worse of all I have ectopics as with yesterday lasting literally all day. The EP is happy with things so far and is trying to get to grips with it. The ectopics I get are very powerful causing me to double up knocking the wind out of me and making me feel so fatigued. Take care.

Hi Suzy

I had a "normal" ablation 2 weeks ago and although I'm starting to feel a bit better after a few post procedural problems I also find that I get very tired at times.  I'm sure it's just a case of feeling ok and then overdoing it and as nearly everybody on the forum says you do need to be a bit careful for some time.   It's hard not doing much though isn't it?! 

Not what you're looking for?
