I had a RFA ablation for treating Supraventricular tachycardia. After a week I have severe acidity and diaherra with a high heart rate.

Stomach problems are not attended by my surgeon. But high acidity starts a high heart rate ( 130 ) and loose motion gives weakness.

This is probably a result of inflammation of the vagus nerve during ablation and should settle in a short time. Raise heart rate. typically around 90 is not uncommon post ablation but if you are worried then contact the arrhythmia nurse or team where you had the ablation.
