Good luck to you! I keep pushing off getting my ablation done because I worry about leaving my kids and how I'll do after. Keep us posted!!

Best of luck Michelle. I had an ablation done 3 days ago and I know how you feel. I was very nervous on the day but the procedure itself wasn't as bad as I thought it would be. The time just flew and I was back in recovery texting family and friends within an hour! I wish you all the best and speedy recovery.

Hi Ness ,

Did you have an AF ablation? X

[NessNet in reply to Thompson123]

I had the EP study done to get the diagnosis and this was followed by a ablation as it turned out I had the atrial tachycardia with the recurring circuit. Best of luck today!

[Thompson123 in reply to NessNet]

Hey Ness ,

Turns out I had the same ablation done as you .

I was meant to have Afib ablation

He found out I had atrial tachycardia that was ablated first . Iv got to wait to recover from this one first . He said it was unusual for someone my age to have AT I’m 36 I just wondered if you don’t mind how old are you ? Xx

[NessNet in reply to Thompson123]

Glad to hear you got your diagnosis and that ablation went well. Apparently it is quite rare type of arryrhmia (lucky us!).i am also 36.

Does it mean you will have another ablation to fix the other issue? How do you feel?

[Thompson123 in reply to NessNet]

Thank you , Oh definitely lucky us lol . I think so he said wait and see how the heart is after this one . He said that AFib and AT are very similar .

Feeling abit tired and sore . Iv got three children. Hard to rest . Feeling abit disappointed I didn’t have the Afib ablation .

How are you feeling now ?

[NessNet in reply to Thompson123]

From what I gather A fib ablation is more complicated - my cardiologist said I would need to come back to have it done if the EP study showed A fib.i was really pleased it wasn't AFib and that they managed to diagnose me during the Ep study. I have two kids but thankfully my husband is off for the next couple of weeks to help me during recovery. The sorness will go away in the next couple of days. It is my 5th day post ablation and I am feeling ok - leg is still bit sore but so much better than before. I get occasional pains in my heart but this will also pass once the scars are fully healed.

Hang in there and try to rest as much as you can - you should see significant improvement in the next 3 or 4 days.

Hello,

I’m diagnosed with AT and will be having an ablation under GA

Did you have your ablation for AT under GA or sedation? Is it gone now?

Thx for your reply!

[Thompson123 in reply to avma]

Hey Avma ,

I haven’t had any more runs of AT since my ablation which is great news . But since my ablation I get lots of ectopics beats throughout the day and night .

I’v just started to take a small does

Of verapamil to see if it will settle things. My consultant doesn’t think it’s related to her ablation .

I was a wake thoughout the procedure but sedated i was aware what was going on I was able to ask questions thoughout . I didn’t feel any pain . Felt a little dizzy almost a drunk feeling . I did feel my heart pumping fast and slow but that was under thier control . The initial ablating area I didn’t feel a thing . I was in the op got about 3 hours which went fast five hours after I was up walking about and heading home .

Definitely Worth doing .

Good luck with yours x

[avma in reply to Thompson123]

Thank you for your reply!

I’m glad that you are not getting any runs anymore. I hope that your etopic beats will stop too.

If I understand it right, the etopic beats are not related to the ablation? I hope so, because it isn’t nice to get a successful ablation and then end up with etopic beats as a result 🤭.

[Thompson123 in reply to avma]

No my consultant says it’s no related . You can get some after ablation while the heart is healing that’s completely normal.
