Problems after ablation

Problems after ablation

Hi I had an ablation 3 years ago for AVNRT and apart from ectopic beats most of my symptoms, lightheadedness and being dizzy, had improved. Recently I have had problems again with my heart pausing, racing, flip flopping and blackout. I have now been told after a holter monitor that I have a slow heart beat and runs of tachycardia. One doctor thinks that maybe it is scar tissue from the ablation. I am having a reveal recorder implanted in my chest and then when that gives them the information they need I may be having a pacemaker. Is there anyone else here who has had this after an ablation?

Hi

I have had a total of two ablations for AVRNT. One two years ago and the most recent in march of this year as the SVT returned. Since this last ablation I have had skips pauses but no speed ups of heart. I'm now back on beta blockers. Again I have been told that as my ablation was only 5 months ago it may be the scar tissue.

It gets me down that I feel worse than I did before the ablation. Think I would rather put up with the odd episodes of SVT than my heart jumping around like a dying fish all the time.

Hope the event Monitor gives you some answers.

Regards

Tracey

If you're blacking out is it complete? you pass out cold?

Have they mentioned doing a tilt table test to see why you're passing out?  May be worth mentioning if not.

I had one right before my ablation last month; result was positive for a disorder of my autonomic nervous system.
