I'm so sorry since l also had pericarditis after having a PFA. It was
painful, I stayed in hospital extra days and was on medication for a week.
It certainly was not a bounce back recovery like PFAs appear to be touted.
My electrophysiologist was an excellent physician and his heart hospital
had been chosen to participate in trial PFAs. My opinion is that this
procedure is still new to our country and is in need of more evaluation and
testing. In retrospect l wish that l had gone to Mayo Clinic because l
believe they have taken a more cautious, collaborative, and guarded
approach to PFA. Please take your time in healing after pericarditis and
the procedure itself. It took several weeks for me to start feeling better
and less tired.

@gracie71 I agree on the Mayo - I will err on the side of Mayo going forward. It's been almost a year of healing. I'm ready for this to be behind me. I hope it is soon. Take care -
