Atrial Fibrilation ablation surgery or Pacemaker

Annette,
I just completed the Node ablation at Mayo last week(Dr Dai).
My program is to reduce bpm in three stages: 80-70-60 or a three month period.
This of course is controlled by my pacemaker.
The major issues I have been dealing with( serious shortness of breath, balance, fatigue ), have not been mitigated or improved.

Hi Dixie May
I have had Node ablation and a Pacemaker. I am 4 weeks post surgery. My shortness of breath is still occuring and night sweats. I'm still fatigued but I have started walking my dog around the block every day when weather allows we have winter in Western Australia. My BP is still high.

Thanks for your response. Since I have had a pacemaker for 4 years, I have not discussed staging the bpm, I will ask about that.
My major issue is shortness of breath. I am sorry to hear that your symptoms have not been mitigated or improved. Hopefully, that will come in time - since you are only a week out from the surgery.
