Ablation and phrenic nerve update.

Hi all, I thought I'd update following my 2nd ablation Nov 6th, I had af and flutter, since the op I haven't (touch wood) had any problems with my heart, amazing, I have rested as much as poss, no alcohol, no caffeine and gentle exercise. I have been very breathless, can't lay flat, did have bad cough (coughs alot better now) and had confirmed at hosp last week phrenic nerve palsy on right side unfortunately. No cure, just time, 6 months to a year possibly for it to heal itself. On the positive side life without af is like I've won the lottery and the phrenic nerve will heal 😀🤗
