Difficulty exercising after aFIB and SVT ablation

Is there a particular reason you're still on Sotalol? Were you taking it when you had your Holter at about Week 10-12? If so, that's very surprising to me....both that you're still taking it and that you were on it during the Holter. I don't want to pry, but in my admittedly limited exposure to all things AF/SVT and the various people posting here and there about their experiences, the idea is to be off anything except the usual (statin and DOAC for risk management) so that the Holter indicates a veridical record of the heart's true condition.

I believe that they are taking it much more slowly this time, I am currently in my 12th week post SVT ablation. I will be monitored via Zio Patch for 2 weeks while still on Sotalol, then depending on results possibly go to a slow wean of the Sotalol and remonitor. Then again depending on results of that go to discontinuation of the Sotalol. I actually prefer to do it this way because if I were to come off the Sotalol right away and then subsequently need to go back on it I would need to be readmitted for 48 hour monitoring per protocol for that drug. I do not want to have to do that again!
So this is what I assume their plan is but getting the info out of them is like pulling teeth. And this big Boston teaching hospital in department I worked in 😂 for many years.
