I am 60 days post Cardiac ablation, is it normal to get a headache? I have my 30-day meets with My EP cardiologist and have had no problems, but lately, I started getting these headaches. Is anyone else getting this problem?

Have you read the pamphlet on ablation and recovering from ablation here? It is written by patients for patients. I think it is quite common for all sorts of side effects to manifest themselves at any time in the "blanking Period" and this period can last much longer than the health professionals say. However, if you are worried about these headaches then do contact your cardiologist or EP and talk this over.

You can also look in past posts on this forum and see what has been written previously about this.

I had a horrible headache from the time I woke up and from what I understand many people have that happen. It lasted about four days but nothing after that except sinus headaches, allergies, etc. yes you definitely need to talk to the doctor.

I had migraines before my ablation, but they were maybe once a month. I had an aura migraine every day for 30 days straight after the ablation and almost 5 months later they are still bad .
