Issus after ablation for a-fib

[bigdaddy918]

I am 38 yr old male.  I had ablation done 2 weeks ago.  Everything seemed to go well.  Next day when I woke up I found it had to catch my breath.  Doctors did chest x-rays and echo.  All seemed well except for some inflamation around heart.  No fluid.  Later that morning, for no reason, I became very emotional.  I am a man who keeps his emotions in check but this day I could not stop crying.  Now 2 weeks later I still have some episodes of breaking down and feeling depressed.  Also, had some other issues.  Feeling sick to my stomach, some burning while urinating and still some tenderness in the areas of the groin where the incisions were made.  Had an ultra sound on the weekend and nothing shows up.  I am now on warfrain for 3 months post op and I have high blood pressure where I take labetalol. diltiazam, flecinide(?) and avapro.
What is going on?
I am happliy married with a 3 year old and lots of family for backup.  I have noticed that my patience are running thinner than usuall.  God bless my wife.
Any answers will be great.
Thanks
Mike

Thanks for the comments.  The doctors say the inflamation can be helped with ibuprofin.  On was on 400 mg for a few days.  It seemed to help.  I have follow up meetings with the drs (cardiologist) in 6 weeks, 3 mnths, 6 mnths, 9 mnths and 12 mnths.

I can understand the emotional meltdowns. I'm a pretty mellow, calm person. But after my second ablation (I've had 3) for some reason I just would tear up over the slightest thing. Even TV commercials. It irritated the socks off of me. It did finally ease up but I was either teary or grumpy about being teary.

What did the doctor say about the inflammation around the heart? That's not a good thing and may explain your breathing problems. Did they say it would get better?

The groin incisions will get better. It doesn't sound like you have any signs of infection (oozing, hot spots or fever). So the number one concern is your heart right now. I hope the doctor has a plan to monitor that. The other things are just the residual side effects of an ablation. Not fun but neither is the arrhythmia. Hope you feel better soon.
