Funny rhythm for a few hrs - 10 weeks post ablation

Hi - I've been making good progress & have been solely on Apixaban (thinners) for 6 weeks after my ablation for Paroxysmal AF on Aug 29th.

I have not been going silly, but have been getting back to my old activity levels with no issue.

Last night at 9pm I was sat quietly watching the television, when felt what I can only describe as mild AF, but didnt feel the usual ill effects, just aware of a funny feeling of beats in my stomach & felt my pulse & it was a bit erratic. I didn't take any meds & this lasted for about 2 hrs. I haven't felt the usual 'exhausted' feelings this morning & slept well.

Obviously a bit concerned - any advice welcomed - thanks :)

Hi Kevwray, suggest you read this AF Association webpage regarding recovery from an ablation and you will see that what you have experienced is not unusual.

You could always contact the hospital, but I think they would say much the same.....just be sure you are not doing too much, too quick.

Thanks Flapjack - I guess we all just want the operation & switch off the problem - the good news is that my quality of life is very much improved & hope these 'tweaks' will settle down as time passes
