Catheter ablation
I have my procedure six days ago and I am getting terrible pain. This is my third time and never experienced this before and the bruising is now half way down my leg hat again, never happened before...not sure what to do?
MEDICAL PROFESSIONAL
Sorry to know that you are in extreme pain. Pain is natural after ablation but since it is 6 days now the pain should have decreased. Every procedure has its own risks. There are few complications though rare which may occur after ablation. Bleeding, infection, pain, damage to blood vessels, puncture of the heart and damage to the heart’s electrical system are some of them. Few of these can lead to serious consequences. You need to see a doctor .Schedule an appointment with your cardiologist ASAP.You need clinical evaluation and an echocardiogram. Take care and good luck.
