@bens1 I am only three days post ablation and I have had no rhythm problems but the general anesthesia is what I think really wipes you out. It takes time to get out of your system and also to eliminate all the fluids that they fill you with during the procedure. I feel good overall but just a little groggy and I can't get warm for some reason without my space heater! I am more than happy with the process though. I am a mover, so this "taking it easy" is not easy for me. I can go back to the gym in a week. I intend to follow the directions given to me "by the letter!" I don't want to mess anything up! As far as pain is concerned, practically none; only the sore throat from being intubated. Getting much better though. All I have read is that the sooner you get the ablation and control the outbreaks, the better the result. I am very hopeful that this is going to work for me.
