Abdominal pain after cryoablation

[sidbinks]

This is my second day post ablation. Felt pretty good and had a big meal last nite. Having abdominal pain...feel swollen in mid abdomin...is this a normal side effect?

I have not had an ablation but it sounds as though the big meal was too much too soon. Smaller meals may be required until your body settles.

That thought crossed my mind too!!......I'm sure you will feel fine in a day or two....

Thanks, yes, i think i was a bit of an idiot. The pain subsided after many hours....i just felt so surprisingly good so fast that i sort of wanted to celebrate with enchiladas and tres leches cake!

Oh my gosh is this an image of an ablation??

So, i did a search for Nexium side effects and the first one listed was headache and the 4th one was abdominal pain....doc put me on it as a precaution for some reason 2 days prior to surgery...i think this may be the culprit!

You may have a small amount of damage to the Vagus nerve which passes close by. It controls, amongst other things, the digestive system. I had the same problem and was assured by my EP, Proffesor Richard Schilling, it was transient. It was and I am fine, took a while though!

Thank you so much for your reply, it's reassuring to hear this.

I certainly had an uncomfortable feeling when eating larger meals for a couple of weeks post ablation. I put it down to the various instruments inserted down my throat during the procedure. It has cleared now fully now 8 weeks on.
