Has anyone used CoQ10 to help after Catheter Ablation?

Has anyone used CoQ10 to help after Catheter Ablation?

I was having soo many problems after my catheter ablation that I started reading up obsessively about a more natural means to ease blood pressure which was staying spiked at 160/110 or sometimes higher and not to mention the fatigue and chest pains and the horrible side effects of continuing to take BP/heart meds to help with the elevated heart rate which seems to be so common.  

I have found if I take anywhere from 400-600 mg daily of CoQ10 it really seems to keep my blood pressure at the same level as any blood pressure medicine and I don't have the horrible fatigue.  Also it is helping to keep the post-ablation high heart rate (mine was ranging 100-110 at resting).  I still have some days that I am affected more but I believe it is because I am consuming too much caffeine.  darnit.

My cardiologist seems to be done with me even if I call for concerns I am having.  As far as he was concerned he saw me for a follow-up and blew me off.  Jerk.  No bedside manner or even handshake.  Just nodded and I was forgotten.  So, with any medications they switched me to becoming progressively worse (4 switches in two weeks), I did the unthinkable and stopped all the heart meds/bp meds and tried CoQ10 with 600 MG first night.  The first night my bp dropped to 124/84.  Best it has been since the ablation even with bp meds.  Now, there is possibility of hepatitis so you have to keep the doctor in the loop and get checked very regular.  Who wants hepatitis, ya know?
