AV node ablation

[Betty57]

Well yesterday at 8am I was in Edinburgh hospital first on the list , my nerves were in tatters , first they made sure my pacemaker was settled which was fitted 6 weeks ago , all well , I was in full AF and my HR was all over the place , when the dr came to speak to me he said not to worry , that it was actually good it was like that (no idea why ) anyway when I got into operating theatre the gave me a relaxing drug , got me all set up for the Node ablation and that was the last I saw till it was over , all went well , I have been set at 80 just now till I go for my follow up . And came home last night . Not to uncomfortable and paracetamols sorted it out . I have been told to stop my drugs , and only continue with my apixiban ...so fingers crossed 🤞 my recovery will keep getting better ....just wanted to share with you all ...

Oh Betty, thanks for your post and well done!

I'm waiting for an AV node ablation, PM fitted in August, physiology appt in 3 weeks.

You've really encouraged me as I was wondering what happened.

Here's to a speedy recovery!

Thank you . I was also so worried before it , but I think it’s fear of the unknown with me ...and it really was nothing to worry about ...I wish you all the best it comes along for you ...x

Thanks for letting us know Betty, it’s very reassuring to hear from you. I’m seeing my consultant in Dec to discuss the same after an unsuccessful ablation so good to hear yours went well. Hope you keep improving.
