Had the op and during the ablate it hurt with the burns with pain radiating up to neck and ears! The doc said all good but then three days after op I have been getting on my feet and going dizzy with same pain going from tops of lungs to shoulders into ears with terrible pain in temples ?? When I sit Down and relax it goes off after 10 minutes!! Help

That sounds absolutely awful. I never had anything like that with any of my 3 ablations . I would phone the hospital where you had the ablation for advice. Bearing in mind that all kinds of funny things can go on in the healing process.

I agree with Yatsura as I never felt that way after my three ablations either. Would strongly recommend that you seek medical advice.

Keep insisting. Even exaggerate your symptoms. Say that you can't leave the house or even function normally at home. That you are seriously depressed and frightened. That should do the trick.

I think Id ring 111 or even 999! That way,if you are taken in,you would have to be investigated properly. Best wishes xx
