It is some 9 days since my RF ablation and progressing well. During the first 3 days or so, during the day, the heart rate reduced from a normal 62 to anywhere between 42 and 50 and occasionally, breathing was a bit more laboured and my chest felt tight. Night time was nearer normal. I used the Kardia a couple of times during this period and got some "unclassified" results but pulse was regular, although not showing much of a P wave.
Yesterday, I took the plunge and decided to go to Beancounter's Natter 'n Nosh but we drove in to avoid problems with stairs and escalators. I thought I was behaving myself, but I did get ticked off by Beancounter for carrying a small tray of drinks....that all seemed to change however, when he realised one of the drinks was for him!!
Must admit I felt a bit tired last night, but slept well. Kardia was showing "normal" and P wave had returned. The other interesting thing was my BP. I also checked that for the first time yesterday and pre ablation it took around 3 attempts to get it from around 140/80 to 125/70. Yesterday, and again today it read 118/62 after the second attempt! I don't think I've had any ectopics or palpitations. Still got the enormous bruise on my thigh, but no problems around the entry wounds.
Hope this helps some of you either considering or about to have an ablation but please remember, we are all different and can react differently to all treatment plans...I still plan to take it easy all next week but hope to ease myself back into my daily walks.
