Re: post ablation(9th week)

[Guest guest]

Azariel,

What does your doc say about the pounding? Maybe they can give you a

24 hour monitor to see what it is, just to put your mind at rest if

nothing else.

You are still in the 2-3 month after ablation phase, so my

understanding is that your heart is still healing, and it isn't

unusual to have stuff going on then.

Hello, I am new to this group and afib, I was wondering if your

ablation was for afib specifically? I has and ablation last thursday

for AV Node re-entry, it seems to have stopped me from going uo to

the 200bpm but I still have afib that was also notice before the

ablation. I have been prescribed cardizem and sotalol(beta pace)

After reading about the recommdation to start in a hospital(my doc

did not)and in general I am pretty frieghtned about starting to take

these meds, could anyone give me some feedback, thanks so much,

Thank you for your thoughts and experience, I'm waiting to speak to

my doctor for some peace of mind,

Betapace or any med that has the potential for side effects, then he

should go to the hospital for his own peace of mind. I for one have

gone on Betapace both in and out of the hospital and have never had

any side effects, except that my cardiologist was mad that I did

that and my EP said that it was OK. Just do whatever you are

comfortable with. I don't think that it is ever wrong to be too

safe, especially if you are worried....
