Hi all I had an ablation around 6 weeks ago and wondered if this is part of the norm, what Im going through... I had cardioversion for Atrial flutter 2 weeks after ablation...lasted a few days then back to AF then in the last week I went back into Atrial flutter, 130 bpm meds are increased as I take max carvedidol now also take Digoxin plus lots of other lovely coloured shapes... came out of Atrial flutter of 2 days constant and now in Atrial Fibrillation constant for 3 days at around 130 bpm...I wasnt this bad before ablation!!!
Ablation 6 weeks on: Hi all I had an... - Atrial Fibrillati...
Ablation 6 weeks on
Don't panic all sorts can happen after ablation takes time to setitle down. Good luck
Hiya. Given the problems you are having it does sound like that settling down could be a no no. The heart undergos a change re the ablation and if the AF returns after,it can be with different behaviour, including a worse situation. It did with me, 6 minths after, however after a 2nd 3rd ablation all is now good for 3 years. Push to see your EP.
Be well
Phil
I have had 4 ablations with several cardio versions in between 1st changed my episodes so although I wasn't in Permanent AF the episodes I had were much worse, the second did nothing the 3rd resulted in a tamponade and the 4th in January has fixed my flutter and i have only had 2 mild episodes since so a success as far as I'm concerned.
I don't think that answers your question particularly just trying to show that there isn't a norm as with the condition everyone's experience is different. To me unfortunately it sounds like your ablation journey isn't over.
I think that anti rythmn medicine can give you problems I have trouble with different ones
