Post Ablation Wolff Parkinson White was started.
HI,
I had ablation a week ago today. I havent felt any missed beats and my HR has seemed to slow down. I usually have a fast pulse , close to 100, and it has been hanging aroun 80 since i got home. The only thing I am having is once in awhile an uncomfortable feeling in my chest , like breathless , for just a bit and then it goes away. I assume it is just healing going on. Other than that, I feel pretty good.
I have had two very successful ablations for frequent pvcs. Hope you have the same great fortune. Wishing you the best outcome.

I'm 75 w/ablation for irregular atrium scheduled in a few weeks. AFib has not been much of a problem even though it is constant. Take coumadine plus meds for high bloodpressure and have a pace maker. Off of irregularity meds as I have been in constant AFib anyway. BUT I have had no palpations lately and feel good, just not the energy I used to have. I've read about a few difficulties that post-ablation patients have had. Anyone out there that can comment, I would appreciate ASAP.

I was also very nervous about the sedation. But, I gotta tell ya, that stuff was grrrrreat! The nurse anesthetist gave me the medicine (in the IV) and I ever so gently relaxed. Next thing I know, I'm awake and being moved to recovery. I was not sick to my stomach and was hungry. The fentynl seems to be much easier on the stomach than demerol (what they used to use). I bet you're gonna be very surprised at how gentle the medicine is. You'll wake up and be ready to go home. I was so hungry after the colonscopy : )
Good luck. Keep us posted!
