Chest pain post ablation! Help!

[Cclegg]

Now nearly 4 weeks post ablation and on the whole feel much improved. Back walking even a little bit of jogging!!

My only problem is the chest pain which is intermittent. Bobd suggested it could be related to oesophogeal heat transfer. Have found the pain intensifies if I bend at the waist for more than a couple of seconds and leaves me feeling awful!! I have no problem with eating or drinking and no indigestion. Wondered if anyone has experienced any similar or can throw any more light on it!!

Am wondering if I should be speaking to my GP.....most importantly though AF very quite!!

Should have typed BobD...... How long do you think it will continue if it is caused by the heat transfer?

Thanks for your reply Jo. I already take Lansoprolol and have been topping up with gaviscon! Nothing really seems to make a difference! Was given an anti-inflammatory for two weeks as well. Will hopefully settle down, encouraging to know it's not unusual for it to last a few weeks!

Didn't have anything like this with my 1st ablation so like you began to wonder if something had gone wrong!

I would speak to go, but keep in mind the places they ablate plus heat to the esophagus will heal and slough off tissue. 4 weeks is about the time this initially would occur. It's like when u get your tonsils out. They hurt at first, start to heal and feel better and the the scab has to come off. Sore all over again and painful for a while. Check w bp. Don't wonder.
