Visual migraine

[Terrielynne]

I was so happy to find this site....I just had my ablation 9/25 and I've had these terrible visual migraines every day followed by no energy at all . I really thought I had a blot clot as well. Knowing these can last awhile isn't what j was hoping 2 hear as tomarrow will b just a week for me. I'd like to thank u all for sharing ur stories ,as it has helped me alot

You have probably seen this AFA fact sheet:

heartrhythmalliance.org/res...

The migraines should soon pass. Any NON NSAIDs painkiller should help if necessary and drink lots of water......

Hi Terrielynne, I had 3 or 4 episodes of visual migraine, with zigzagging lines and holes in my vision in the first 10 days post ablation (which was 2 1/2 weeks ago). They seem to have gone now. Take care.

Knowing there is a place to share a problem is so important I think as it has helped me so much. Hope the speed of your recovery gathers real speed. All the best.

Hi - I had visual migraines after two of my ablations. Was not told that it might happen, so thinking it might be a blot clot, I went to A&E. No-one there mentioned the possibility of side effects from ablation, though I told them I had just had one. They checked me over, then told me to go to GP for another check up in a few days. GP knew nothing about it either. I rang the arrhythmia nurses who told me it was a side effect of ablation.

I only knew not to panic as I’d read it on the Recovering from Ablation fact sheet that I found out about on this forum ❤️

[Terrielynne in reply to Melleray]

Wow it's terrible that they don't let people know about these,just so we don't worry that we may have something wrong.I feel the recovery is longer then what they say as well

Yep I had visual migraine for a few days maybe a week but do not worry they will abate and 5 months on I've had none since that first week also no AFIB
