Been some lurgy going round our family this week, low and behold with my ablation on Tuesday it all kicked off for me this weekend. The other half took 3 days to get rid so I'll be cutting it fine.
Do you think they'll still do it if I'm sniffing/sneezing? Given the fact it involves lying still. I'm worried they'll cancel.

I had similar for my 2nd ablation and woke that morning with a sore throats and fully expected them to cancel. They took swabs from nose and throats which all came back clear so they went ahead. I wouldn't second gues it unless as Bob says, you are bringing up colored sputum.
The blurb given to me beforehand said if you have a cold, let them know. I had a sniff and felt 'coldy', rang up the secretary the day before and she didn't know what to do, said I was the first who had rung up like this! She asked EP who said should be ok but if it got worse let them know. Still felt same on the day, no worse and all went ahead, no issues to report.
Mine was the other way around, I had the catheter ablation and came home with a rotten cold, hard sneezing fits etc., and I really don't think this helped with recovery at all. Speak to your medics and ask the question
