It's been 11+ months since my PF ablation, and I was troubled by chest discomfort for weeks after the procedure. EP said it's probably pericarditis and I should take Motrin and that it should subside within a week or so. I took Aleve cautiously, because I'm on Xarelto, and it helped somewhat. In the months since, I still sometimes experience chest discomfort for unknown reasons, but I don't think it's related to my ablation or anything cardiac because the discomfort seems to intensify in certain positions or when coughing, but not during physical exertion. There have been moments when I was tempted to go to the ER to get myself checked out. I'm chalking it up to the hypervigilance that comes with having a heart issue, and trying to not become too obsessed over it, limiting Kardia readings and blood pressure checks to no more than three or four or seven times a day, Ha!
