Ablation 1 week ago

[easygoer13]

I just had my ablation a 1 week ago. I can tell I felt better the moment I woke up. I have been fortunate as I have had almost no discomfort of any kind, a very steady HR that typically is in the 50's/60's----I feel great.

Doing this during the covid outbreak was a concern and add's to the anxiety of it. I found it to be a unique experience as the hospitals are very quiet and far less people moving about.

What I have learned is the procedure itself was not as "scary" as I thought it would be that in the end we are trying to better ourselves and this is one step towards that. I am only a week in but it has been a smooth quiet week and I am feeling good.

Great news. Remember to follow the site's guidelines for ablations. No real exercise for awhile.

Good news. Remember to not do too much too soon it really is necessary to rest for at least 2 weeks even if you feel a lot better.

Great! Had mine September 2014 and not a peep since. I take no medication whatsoever, well, except for a few daily espressos!

Great to hear your happy news! Yes, take it easy for a good 2 weeks and more!

Bravo. Be well !

Great. Rest and remember it can take 6 months for healing. So no strenuous exercise. I had mine 2013 and still fine.

Well done on the ablation, I am on the list for one, nervous but hoping as my AF is fairly well controlled and a zero Chadvasc score that it wont be too unpleasant

That’s great news. Awaiting my third and remember the feeling after my second which worked for quite a while, so good to feel normal again.

5 years in July and no sign of AF. Do take care for a few weeks and try not to revert to any bad lifestyle choices that might have contributed.

Thanks All for the kind words and information. I know I need to take it easy, I have not done much been to the store a couple of times and am working from home just making calls.

I wanted to share my experience to this point as short as it has been. One of the reasons is when I was considering ablation I seemed to read more about the those who had a less positive experience.

I think it is most important that most of what we read here are just a nugget of what one goes though and while it is great to hear from others, it does not mean whatever happened to them will be the same for you.

I was scheduled for an Ablation in October and I passed completely of my own choosing but I do think some of the reading I did influenced or at least made me mindful to take a step back.

Again only week in but I felt better the moment I opened my eyes. I do not know if it is my imagination or telling myself but I think I feel better than even when I was in NSR prior. I just feel more solid.

Anyway Thanks all

Glad to hear your feeling better,but can I ask in what way do you feel better?
