I had a Cryoablation September 2019. 8 weeks ago tomorrow I had an RF ablation. Didn’t know I was having a RF until hour before procedure. I assumed recovery from RF would be same.ish as Cryo. Oh how wrong I was from the minute I came too in recovery. It has all been so very different. I have read AFA info sheet again.....several times!
Prior to Cryo I suffered terribly with Ectopics, was very symptomatic and felt quite ill at times. They were worse than the Afib. From the word go after Cryo the ectopics were a lot better and virtually stopped altogether several months later and didn’t feel ill with the odd ones. The Afib was better in that episodes didn’t last as long or as severe , 9-12 hours instead of 15-50+ hours but they had became more frequent so it was decided on a second ablation.
For the last few weeks I have been having more noticeable ectopics each day for 2-4 seconds each time and then a sharp headache straight after, like a tension one with a tight band around my head. It eases to more like a dull ache and can last for a time.
Does anyone know if the return of more frequent ectopics could be because the heart has been in trauma and hopefully with more time diminish again as the healing process continues? or could it be, again due to the trauma, my heart is trying to go into Afib as it heals but abalation is obviously working and stopping it happening? Do have to pee sometimes when it happens but not every time.
Apart from all this I am feeling quite well.
Thank you all and stay safe.
