Slow Heartbeat Post Ablation

[smithy666]

I had an ablation for afib 9 days ago.  After a week of relative quiet, I start to have bouts where I could feel my heart pumping but with a pulse rate of 48-52 bpm.  No other major symtoms.  After a sleepless night, the nurse told me (by phone) that this was Atrial Tachycardia, that the slow pulse was not a total indication of what was going on with my heart.and to increase my dose of beta blocker from 12 to 25 mg.  This made me extremely lightheaded so I went back to my prior dose.  While I understand that this is probably a temporary side effect of the ablation and medication is this the case.  I am taking Altace, Atenolol and Coumadin.  Could this be Bradycardia?

We are probly experiencing the same sensation.  Doesn't seem to be anything to worry about, expected after an ablation.  A least no afib.

well a pulse of 48-50 does sound like bradycardia,but maybe it was just intermittent?i got my ablation a week ago and i am getting the odd thumping sensation ,i think palps are normal for a while after the procedure but not sure about the pulse rate.........
