Pulsed Field Ablation

@ltb7 I was on the same meds after my ablation (same doses, I think), but I was on those meds before my ablation and they had controlled my afib for several years, ...until they didn't. My cardiologist kept me on those meds for 3 months, then kept me on them because I was going to Nepal for 2 months and he did not want me to have any problems far from any medical help. When I returned, he took me off the meds.
The period after my ablation was erratic with intermittent afib, fairly frequently for the first month, then it rapidly calmed down. I didn't have any afib after the second month. What my cardiologist told me was, "you are along for the ride."
So, hang in there, hope you start feeling better soon.
I never had any adverse reactions to meds.

@aard thanks for the reply. I’m on day 6 post ablation and I know it’s the meds that are making me feel bad, not the ablation. They said I have to stay on them during the blanking period so I’m really hoping I can last a few more months. I was only on them for weeks before the procedure but my body does not like these meds at all. They are controlling the afib so I guess that’s the plus side.
