Hi Khaled,

Yes quit normal after Ablation, you get used to them after a wile, and gradually get a lot softer as time goes on,

you will have plenty of blips over next few months wile your Heart recovers,

Good luck

All quite normal Khaled7 as you will see if you check out the fact sheet Flapjack mentions. It will take quite a while for things to settle down so best be well prepared.

Yes. Be patient and take care of yourself by not worrying.

It is normal to experience discomfort & unusual flutters etc post ablation. There is a3 month "blanking " period before you go back for a check up to enable the heart to recover. Remember it has suffered trauma from the ablation, just be patient & allow it to settle down. Of course visit your GP if there is really something worrying you.

I am just 4 months post ablation. I have always had ectopics since my AF diagnosis. They were especially abundant after my ablation. I still have them daily, only they are much less frequent. What you are feeling is what I would consider as normal.
