@anjimlynch I too was petrified about the 48-hour metoprolol ban. My EP told me that if I had an SVT episode during that time, go to the ER of the hospital where the ablation was about to be performed and have the ER dr call my EP dr, as they would probably keep me there and just do the ablation the next morning. That was very reassuring.
Turns out I had zero issues tho, and just proceeded on to the scheduled ablation.
Wishing you the absolute best luck and success! I just reached the point where I am back to my former (before breakthrough SVT and higher-dose metoprolol) active self and it feels incredible!

@osgilian three days out from my ablation 🙂 still tired but happy to have had the procedure. I was so worried about the metoprolol before hand and I didn’t have any trouble either. They also dropped my dose to 25mg for the next two weeks with possibly stopping it altogether. I’ve had a few flutters but as you know that’s normal. I’m looking forward to getting my energy and my life back. SVT stinks !!! It does shrink your life and for me the ablation was the only way to go. Metoprolol took my energy and I just did not function the way I want. It wasn’t worth it !!!! I am happy you had a good experience too and wish you luck from here on out !!!!!
