Hi everyone, last night about 7pm AF back 120 heart rate,did make me feel down a bit.the arrhythmia nurse did say this might happen.so I’m not panicking at the minute just resting, need some groceries today so my daughter in law said she would take me later if I want to. Checked with Kardia back to normal at 8am.😀 il keep updating.

I'm sure that you will have read our fact sheet on recovering from ablation and will know that this sort of thing is very common and can go on for a few weeks/months so please do not worry. Try to rest as much as possible and do stay well hydrated.

Thank you Bob, yes I’ve read the info plus the arrhythmia nurse did explain what could happen of course we are all different.

Hi yeh it’s back to normal has been most of the day, thank you for asking, haven’t done much just resting all day Jean xx

Definitely need to rest, I rested and I mean rested for a month, then unfortunately tore a calf muscle which made me rest for another month and then I badly sprained my ankle so that was another 4 weeks of resting, someone must have been telling me you need to rest and not had any AF since day 6 post op

It’s not unusual for episodes during the healing process. I had two episodes in the first week after ablation. It’s been 90 days since the procedure and other than what appear to be ectopic beats, I’ve been clear. I think we have become so attuned to the condition that we may feel every little twinge and “hiccup” that occurs. So relax, rest and get to enjoy life again. But like my EP said “Don’t t get too cocky!”

[Nanchester in reply to Heart1234Wisconsin]

Hope it’s carries on keeping away, best wishes for you in the future. that AF has a lot to answer for, I’m resting as muck as possible, so it’s just a waiting game till I can say goodbye AF. X

I was getting these on and off for 5 months post ablation. That was 2013 and still AF free. So stay positive and rest.
