Bruising?

I had a cryoablation back in January. Is it possible that portions of the heart and arteries leading to the heart are bruised. Sometimes I feel some discomfort  around my heart and I was wondering if this could be the result of the procedure.

I would have thought that by now your heart would be pretty much healed. It could be reflux which is often a side effect of ablation. You should discuss with your doctor of concerned.

By the way. there are no nerves in arteries or veins so no pain from them. Also the arteries are not touched during ablation as everything is done via veins.
