Sounds positive other than your return to work -- In our view far too early. We say two weeks minimum rest and build gradually after that in our fact sheet on recovery. Better to recover slowly than ruin all the hard work like many of us did first time. Forget what the doctors tell you, it was patients who wrote the fact sheet from (often bitter) experience.
Thank you for the reply. I am only going in for 2 days with a day off in between and will then be off for 4 weeks with the college summer break. Am only doing admin on the 2 days in so will not be overdoing things. Hopefully this sounds a little better than just going back to work.
I wish my heart rate would slow back down to where it was before ablation. My resting heart rate before ablation 3 weeks ago was 54 beats a minute. Now it’s in the upper 60s-70s and that’s even taking a beta blocker. But I’ve read numerous places that a rise in your heart rate after afib ablation means success. And if it doesn’t rise then you usually have to have another one. But who knows?? Im glad everything went well! My surgery was 7 hours and I was done for 3 weeks. You might be going back to work a little soon.
Think bobs right...sounds too early to go working......I fekt normal but as time went on I did find some days energy levels drop some they are normal....it is wise to listen to your body fir the next three months or more....
