post ablation side effects

[yiyi5951]

I just had a left sided cardiac ablation for AFIB 2 days ago.  I am now experiencing heavy audioable wheezing, SOB, chestpain, backpain and get tired quickly walking shore distances.  Is this normal for post ablation?

Please get this checked out ASAP!!! I had an ablation done with the same symptoms and my doctor told me it was normal but it wasn't I went to the ER and the said I had a blood clot in my lung which can happen after an ablation. Please don't get scared but please have this checked out. If it is a blood clot causing your symptoms the fact that it has already done damage and your still alive is good. I am 29 years old and that happened to me so please take it serious and get it checked out.

I had an ablation last week for Afib and tachy and I have had non of those side effects.  I was out shopping and active within 48 hours, I would get it checked out or at the very least call your doctor for their opinion.  Good Luck!

I would say no. Please go to the ER for possible pneumonia, pleurisy or even partially collapsed lung.
