The first few monthes after ablation is called blanking period. It where the heart is reacting basically from the Dr working on it. My husband had that. Happen. His dr may want to adjust meds etc.
so we are hoping that’s all it is the blanking period.
Yeah, I agree with you on your frustration. I have had 2 Ablations and have a Kardia EKG monitor and every so often it reads that I still have AFIB. Very frustrating.
I also just had a Cardiac Catheterization, and the Cardiologist said I had about a 20 to 30 percent blockage on my heart veins and arteries and said I did not require any stents. However, I do have a severe diagnosis of pulmonary hypertension which affects my breathing, and I get tired and winded and short of breath. So much for my running the marathon. Ha! I am 79 years old, and I can barely walk due to my vertigo much less run a marathon. Oh well, I just take it in stride, and I just thank God that I have lived this long.
Thanks, and take care.
