Convalescence is seriously undervalued in this age when it seems you are expected to ‘recover’ within a few weeks. Fatigue is your body’s way of saying you need to pace yourself and rest more to allow healing. Some people need more time than others but 4 weeks is still early days.

It took 6 months for my exercise levels to reach pre-ablation levels. Just try to listen to your body and not expect to be "normal" for a while
