It's now been over 2 weeks since my AV ablation w/pacemaker. My heart rates are still very stable ,around 80 bpm, with small variances up to 120 when exercising. I am now doing about 1 to 1.5miles/day. I still have slight light headiness, am not sure what is causing it, did not have it before. As far as SOB it's still there but no as severe, less stopping on walks. I asked Dr about reducing my meds but they want to wait and see. I still have fatigue but have learned to rest periodically.
My conclusion is it was a "win" procedure as I am now "in sync" on all my i-Watch ECG's. And I know my heart rates are great, perhaps no further degradation will occur. I have my 1st Medronic check next week so will get info on the CRT pacemaker performance. Also I am trying to determine if I still have sleep appenia. Trying with and without CPAP. Anyone have any info on this after AV node ablation?
I am also comforted by the fact that my pacemaker heart data is constantly streamed to my i-Phone for on demand real timeup dates to my providers pacemaker clinic.
