I had my ablation 15 days ago. I do have some short runs where it tries to start up...but it does not.
I also had pain on left side neck for 2 days. I have chest fullness and sometimes pain. Currently I have been getting a flutter then like a hard muscle pain top left side across from armpit above breast area...hopeful this is not anything new.
I also do not have the energy I had before the surgery...I get tired faster while out running chores like shopping.
I am hoping all of this will calm down as the days go by...I am feeling well and my recovery time has been great for the outside...the inside i guess will take some time.
It will stop when your heart has healed. My doctor told me that it take a good 3 months for the heart to heal. I had my SVT fixed and I had palpations too, was tired and a little short of breath. It all went away. Just think, what they are doing to the heart. They are invading it and its response is to heal. Hoped this helped.They didn't bother telling me either, I had to ask.
I had my ablation on August 28th, 2017. During the first week, no issues. During week 2, I was extremely weak. During week 3, my body felt better but I began having 1-3 second SVT episodes. Before the ablation, they would never stop on their own and I always had to be taken to the ER for adenosine, 3-8 times a month since I was 7 years old - and I just turned 28. Now, here it is February 2018, and I’m still having the small 1-3 episodes, as well as some longer 30-60 second episodes and for the last week, it’s been fluttering on an irregular basis several times during the day. Also now, I get sharp pains every once in a while, though this is mainly when I try to become very active like walking the dogs and jogging. My cardiologist did the ablation for free since I had been suffering for so long, but now I wonder if these won’t go away.
I had ablation almost 2 years ago (when I was 40) , first 2 months I stayed home, no exercising , no working . After these 2 I went to work , slowly I started going to play sports(soccer and basketball) , all of this time I felt GREAT!
One time (3 months after) playing soccer I was feeling weird, some kind of skips , unregulated beats .That night more skips, one after another one, next day I felt pain in my left side of the chest. The pain can stay for weeks and months. yes , is correct, it is like a squeeze, sometimes I feel some scratches , sometimes I feel some stabbing...
walking on the treadmill , 20 mins , them BOOM!!! A big skip! I felt it through my whole body , next day pain in my left side.
Went to the doctor, some test , but nothing, they are even trying to make me believe that everything is in my head.
One doctor told me to learn live with the pain, hm! I am willing to do that, but tell me the reason of the pain .
I guess I’m unusual too because before my ablation, my SVT episodes were 250-400 bpm. Everyone always told me it was rather high for an episode.
It’s now been 6 months since my ablation, and the episodes have started coming back, just not as often, but I sympathize for your pain you feel bc I feel it as well, the stabbing/scratching pain through the left side of the chest. My dr actually wants to bring me back in for testing to see if I will need another ablation since they’re back already and the pain is torture to have on a daily basis.
Having another ablation done is not that unusual, I was told that there are chances the first one not to have 100% success rate.
With me , I would rather have the SVT episode than the pain in left side. These days I am a little better, I feel like joking and enjoying my family, so I'll do that!
I wish you all good luck and don' t stress to much , lets be happy!
It’s been two years since my ablation, I go for three weeks with feeling great then for no apparent reason I get a heaviness in my chest and I start feeling skipped beats and palpitations. When I have gone to my cardiologist for EKG and Echo everything looks good. Dr says it’s because I can feel skipped beats that I start thinking about it, he suggests I get the app headspace and try not to worry. I am not a worrier, I never felt this before ablation...I am extremely frustrated and tired off hearing it’s all in my head 😞
I do understand your frustration, I do have same symptoms as you have, but I feel pain in my chest(left side ) and a lot of pressure . Same story with the doctors, useless....
Hi there aikarerini83112, so sorry you are going through this. I know how you are feeling and it's so scary and unfortable. Hang in there it does get better. Stay hydrated and rest as much as you can while you heart heals. It will get better slowly until the skipped beats are not noticeable anymore. Keep your chin up it's all part of the process.
I had chest fullness and some shortness of breath. Give this until the end of April. Palpitations are also normal afterwards. Give it a full 3 months, please. It takes that long for the heart to heal.
