7 days post ablation & dizzy spells

[kkatz]

I have read all the info & looked at previous posts & ignored the occasional skipped beat & occasional lightheaded feeling but this morning I had a really bad dizzy spell & would have fallen if not already sat down.Most times I get up & try walking I feel lightheaded.

All readings good.Single lead ECG still in SR.Bp ok.Fibricheck shows regular.

Any ideas folks.

Any new medications post ablation? Sometimes an ablation can just take a lot out of you.

Thanks Jim,Bp fine.even checked standing.The only meds I take are rate rather than rhythm & rate in 70's & 80's.Not really worried just a bit debilitating.Was hoping to do a quick shop tomorrow.Me shopping & hubby carrying.

Patience I suppose.

I have slept a lot after my aflutter ablation and put it down probably to the anesthesia. but it could have been the procedure itself, or a combination. Can take awhile to recover from these things. Like Bob said, contact your medical team if concerned.

Too early to say really but drink plenty. Nothing in the first month should be a concern unless you have chest pain or fainting. You havea lot of healaing yet to do. Dont forget to contact your arrhythmia nurse if you are worried.
