recent health

I was recently had an ablation (8 days ago) to treat an arrhythmia. th arrhythmia seems to be gone and pulse seems ok. I continue to have some of the symptoms I have had the last 5-6 weeks. Fatigue, weakness, numbness in different extremities, occasional muscle spasms, frequent twitching of nerves. Left facial numbness. Some quick little shooting headaches. Is this normal and will go away or is there something that caused the arythmia that still causes the rest of these symptoms.

Hi...and welcome to Medhelp!  Did you discuss all these symptoms with your EP before he did your ablation?  Do you know if you had a TEE done prior to your ablation?  I agree with merileegal that only a Dr. can diagnose what's going on.  Were you or are you now on a blood thinner? And lastly, exactly what kind of arrhythmia did you have?

Glad to hear everything went okay for your ablation and your pulse is okay. As for the other, the only thing I can think of is that it might be affected by the vagal nerve which does also affect the heart arrythmias. I've just been doing some research on it and found some interesting info on wikipedia. Copy and paste the following link: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vagus_nerve

It could also be a number of other things. Are you seeing a neurologist for your other symtoms? Only a doctor can say for sure what's happening.
