Dizziness 14 months after Afib ablation

[Dynever]

I am 40yr old male who had an ablation 14 months ago. The surgery was 9 hours since then I have been feeling dizzy and unsteady hope this passes but I have been Afib free. They say my dizziness is from anxiety but I don’t believe that as I was not before the ablation. I had an MRI done with and without contrast MRa done And CAT scan on my brain and everything came back good right now I’m just on 50 mg of meteropol Anyone else have these issues

I use to have dizzyness for about 5years. Then last August I was admitted with af. Consultant thinks it was high blood pressure causing mine. On candesarton now. Not had anymore dizziness x

Did you go off your normal medication after the ablation? What kind of dizziness? It could be an inner ear issue. My advice is to go to a physiotherapist who specializes in vertigo. They are specialists - they know exactly what to do. I had dizziness too: vertigo physiotherapy cured it.

I have just looked this up on the internet and dizziness was listed as a common side effect. I suggest you request a change of beta blocker, or, if possible, the freedom to gradually come off it altogether.

Hi Dynever,

Nine hours seems a long time for an ablation procedure. Did the EP explain why it took so long?
