Had pulsed field ablation 7 weeks ago. Prior to the procedure my resting HR was in the mid 50's, sleeping hi 40's - low 50's. Activity, depending on the intensity - 120 - 160.
Post ablation, same. I was expecting to see an uptick in my HR, but it never happened.
On 50mg metoprolol, same as well before the procedure. I also take Xarelto 20mg.

Has your EP or cardiology team suggested that they will want you to begin to taper off with the metoprolol before long? This is the usual protocol because of what I explained above...you don't want to wear a Holter at the 10-12 week mark with a heart 'helped' by drugs...you want a veridical assessment of your heart's electrical health and of its rhythm tendencies, including if there are 'PACs', or if there are long pauses, or runs of tachycardia, etc.
