Hi,
I am a 30 year old mom of 2 little boys and I just got a pacemaker after I had an ablation and then a week following ablation I had third degree heart block as a result.
prior to the ablation I had all sorts of tests done on my heart cardiac cath, echo, ep study, tilt table, ekgs etc they also inserted a reveal monitor I was having SVTS on and off for five years.
my doc had thought that the ablation was successful until I wasn't getting over my shortness of breath, and I realized that my heart rate was in the low 40s.
so now, I have a pacemaker, brusies in my groin, an infection in my chest where the reveal was, and I feel horrible.
I know, I am depressed...but I just need to talk to someone who has been through this. Anyone have a similar experience post ablation?
