I had a PFA in February,2025. 2 hours post procedure while in post anesthesia recovery room, I started feeling very dizzy with chest pain. EP and anesthesiologist called in and diagnosed a moderate pericardial effusion. Went back to OR and had catheter placed to drain blood. Sent to CV ICU for 2 days. No real answers why this happened. One week after discharge, I had echocardiogram which showed no pericardial effusion. Prior to PFA I had well controlled Afib for 2 years. Cardiologist and EP thought I was good candidate to stop anti arrhythmia medication and possibly blood thinner. So far, no episodes of Afib that I know of. Wear Apple Watch and utilize Kardiamobile. Had 3 short episodes of high heart rate which I am thinking is part of blanking period. Follow up with EP in August and hope to start weaning off flecainide. Thought I would share my story with group. I am walking and going to yoga and feel good.
