I had my PFA last Thursday late afternoon and stayed overnight in recovery. My bp was low so they did a echocardiogram in the morning and found that I had some pericarditis. I was told it should just go away and I would have the echocardiogram repeated in a week and I was discharged.
I'm tired and having shortness of breath when bending over. My EP doctor called yesterday to let me know that his office would call to schedule the echocardiogram this week. I told him about the short of breath, he told me to call his cell if it gets worse.
I'm praying the pericarditis goes away!! Ughhhh......

Hi, @mberry9899 and welcome to Connect. I am sorry you needed pulsed field ablation and now dealing with pericarditis. That being said, I am also glad to see you post about your experience. I am hopeful right along with you, that you continue a quick road to recovery.

Did they give you instructions for anything to help reduce swelling and symptoms while you wait for an echocardiogram?
