@mellyons thank you so much for letting me know your story too. One of the biggest frustrations for me has been the lack of knowledge and support from the medical world. I had a procedure done, and at no time did anyone tell me what to expect along the 12 week “blanking” or healing period. I had so many questions and issues that popped up during this time. I have been forced to use AI every step of the way, and I believe that is all too common now. I would send the EP nurse a message in the portal and the answer was to go to the ER, and that was not what I needed to hear. I hope you too get answers and feel better soon!

@ltb7 I had pulse ablation and watchman procedure 3 weeks ago.
I wish the nurse will tell me what to expect in the future. My heat rate will go up while I am resting, walking or other activities. It was scary but I find out is normal as longest your heart rate is over 100 for 24 hour while resting. I will hwy up and start walking if will be 115 scary but it does go back to normal 75 85
I wish I was explained in more details what to expect
Best wishes
