ablation
I finally had my cardiac catheter ablation on April 29th!! Everything went well, however, I am experiencing alot of pain in my legs (especially my left one) and there are grape sized bumps at the catheter site. I am really worried that it may be hematoma. I have a check up on thursday......is this early enough, or should I go to the hospital NOW!!! Thanks!
Yes, I still get times of tachycardia (PSVT) and ectopics (skipped beats throughout the day). But it's still an improvement over what I had before.
hiya do you still get any palps after ablation????
do you still suffer from palps after ablation????
Usually a hematoma will resolve on its own. What you need to watch for is infection. Is there a lot of heat at the site? Any discharge or fever? Do take it easy until you see your doc on Thursday. After my first ablation I had some achy pain in my right leg that was probably from a bruised nerve. But it eventually went away.
