Hi I have had a 2nd ablation on Tuesday all went well a few pains in the chest and tired but this is normal.One side effect I have is in my sight me left eye feels as if I have had a bright light shined in to it and difficult to see it only lasts a short while but returns through out the day.
Is this a symptom other people have had?
I think it's occular migraine as explained in this info sheet, IF I can get the link to work.

Great thank you I was a little concerned as I didnt have these symptoms on my 1st ablation
Migraine aura caused by the transeptal puncture and explained in our fact sheet on recovery which baba has signposted.
Thanks
I had a kaleidoscope of aura migraines that lasted for 10 days after the ablation. I understand this to be quite normal. They stopped and never returned
I did not realize this neurological side effect of the transsceptal puncture could affect only one eye. Personally, I did not experience it after my ablation, but have experienced the migraine with aura (no actual headache) that affects both eyes several times in my life.
unfortunately we all get different things. I never had issues in the beginning procedure but my last ablation I had the worst headache ever and I had another one when they finished the job two weeks later with the AV node. I was told afterwards that the horrible headache that nothing takes away is quite common after anesthesia although I had never had it the first five years. We truly are all different.
PS you mentioned it normal but please know it takes a lot longer than you’re going to think because again we are all different. Even if you’re feeling good don’t push it don’t be be climbing heart has been traumatized. It’s just a little thing you know it can only get beaten up for so long before it cries and it’s going to take some rest can do normal if you work a normal job, etc. it is lifting etc. and it’s going to ache at times. Yes, those are normal. I was very surprised when I got my pacemaker and AV node done. my EP told me it could take up to a year for full healing and unfortunately he was pretty right about it. I wasn’t incapacitated, but it was up and down hills for that year. Some days I felt like I could climb a mountain other days getting off the bed was hard. If you don’t know, you will still feel flutter or a will hurt you physically because of the pacemaker. That being said, don’t let it scare you it and sometimes it’s not very nice other times it’s just palpitations. sometimes there is a trigger but not always so don’t get discouraged whether you have a pacemaker or not this is what a fib is like. I can eat too much or eat and set it off. I can get upset a fib doesn’t care why it acts up it does it because it wants to and we have to ride with it.
the number one thing is be patient and even the doctors don’t have all the answers because our bodies react differently to things like. I need medication put into my IV or I get violently ill from it.
it is very early for you. Just be good to yourself OK. You are getting treatment that’s the first step and accepting the fact that your life is going to be different because this is not cured but also know they are working on new things every day to relieve some of it, although it may never be cured just remember this it is not terminal and doubtful. You are going to die from it. I never thought I was lucky having it, but look around you and see things that other people have. My young brother has he has not given up hope not only that, but he works with others now to share a better attitude, even though he already has the plans before he loses control of himself💔😭.
We have a very special club wonderful members to help you get through it. Just remember if it’s enough to be scaring, you call your doctor or go to the emergency room. Don’t write us here until you are taken care of..
