Headaches and Tiredness

Out of interest how long did headaches and tiredness last for after ablation?

I had mine a week ago today, for the first 2 days I had 4-5 migraines with aura each day. Each only lasted 20 minutes and were mainly just aura with a very mild headache. Then nothing for a couple of days. Now I’m getting medium headaches (not migraines) that pretty much last all day and have had them for 2-3 days. This may be linked to tiredness as since the ablation I don’t feel physically tired but every day at the same time, I go from feeling awake and alert to fast asleep in a matter of minutes and if I don’t give in to it and sleep, I just feel groggy for hours. Once I sleep, even for only 45 mins I’m good for the rest of the day. Apart from this I feel absolutely fine and feel like I can do most things but am going to take the rest of this week off and rest.

Took me months to get over each of mine (had four in last 4.5 years). As soon as I did too much, even though I felt fine while doing whatever, I was back on the sofa for a week or so...😭
