Post Ablation Dizziness and Naussea

[CNickels77]

Hi Everyone,

I had an ablation two weeks ago and have been having spells of dizziness and naussea.  Has anyone had this after an ablation?  The doctors recommend intaking more salt but not sure that is the answer.  Just interested if anyone has a similar experience.

Thanks!

Yes. I experienced wooziness, inability to sleep, and general lethargy. Not sleeping made me feel really lousy.  Also, I think I may have been given a stiff dose of beta's before I left the hospital because I noticed that after my ablation my blood pressure was a lot lower and so was my heart rate.

I eventually found that most of these problems went away over time, particularly after I resumed by normal activities: especially exercise and work.  I had also stopped drinking coffee (I was a big time drinker) and when I resumed with a mere cup a day, I felt a lot better. I dont recommend drinking coffee necessarily, but if your doctor is OK with it and it doesn't give you symptoms, having a little in the morning may help.

You'll probably feel the effects of the drugs they gave you for a while. Depending on how much of an electrical change was involved it could also take a while to adapt to your new blood pressure and flow rates.

Not real sure about this. You should ask your doc about this too.

I'm wondering if the cause could be the medication you just  started to take for your fast heart rate.  I would call your Dr. back if it continues. Is it possible you could have a little bug? I agree with Irene  to check your blood pressure and make sure that's o.k. It's been 2 weeks for me and I haven't had dizziness and nausea, just some fatigue.

I've had 3 ablations but never felt that way. I had some days of fatigue and tenderness in the groin. That was it. Are you able to check your blood pressure when you feel that way? If it is running low, you'll feel a bit sick. If it's normal and your heart beat feels pretty normal perhaps you've got some little virus that just happened to catch up with you. Are you on any new medications because sometimes they have side effects too.
