Update on Post Ablation

[CookieinAL]

My chest discomfort was much less today, but called my Dr anyway. They said that this happens to some after ablation and not to worry unless it lasts for more than a couple weeks.

How long you had your abalation?

[CookieinAL in reply to Padayn01]

It was a week ago today,

[Padayn01 in reply to CookieinAL]

Very early days is it your first one?

[CookieinAL in reply to Padayn01]

No, it the second one. First was 2 1/2 years ago. But I did not have the tightness in my chest the first time.

There we are, those words from your doc have given you peace of mind. How is the soreness now, is it begining to ease off?

[CookieinAL in reply to jeanjeannie50]

Yes, the discomfort is all but gone.Thanks to everyone for their concern

I hope you're feeling better today. I had my 2nd ablation a week ago tomorrow, I'm slowly feeling more like myself again.

I too had chest discomfort for about two weeks following my first (cryo) ablation. Here's hoping yours goes away soon.

I was told that pericarditis happens for some people - felt like I was in a vise and couldn't take a full breath. Rx of colchicine is the usual treatment and that made it go away. That was 3 years ago and I still remember how horrible it felt!
